Vladimír Houdek’s new exhibition presents a body of paintings in which his longstanding engagement with abstraction expands into the realm of the figure. A solitary traveler, whose head has been transformed into a cosmic body, moves between past, present, and imagined futures. Drawing on the sublime tradition of Romanticism as well as Impressionist and Pointillist sensibilities, Houdek translates these
influences into his distinctive painterly language. Third Landscape unfolds as a space between reality and imagination, finitude and infinity.
HYB4 Art Studios host Hong Kong artists Jive Lau Ho-Fai and Mari Liew Yu-Lin in collaboration with the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in Hong Kong and Macao. While Jive Lau Ho-Fai’s practice focuses on Hong Kong’s traditional neon craftsmanship, Mari Liew Yu-Lin works primarily with drawing and watercolor. During their residency, both artists will develop new projects inspired by Prague and in dialogue with the local art scene. As part of Prague Art Week, their studio will be open to visitors throughout the festival.
