Until June 19, C12 Art Gallery & Design Store presents GEKOCHT by Pavel Dušek, a show that ironically references his working methods – pouring, layering, and reworking form. The title, derived from the German word for “cooked,” reflects his interest in processes of transformation: concrete, pigment, and form are blended in objects that lie at the intersection of painting and sculpture. Dušek draws from the structures of everyday environments, abstracting and reshaping them into visually unsettling configurations that disrupt the viewer’s sense of reality. Whether through concrete reliefs, experimental painting, or other material-based experiments, Dušek demonstrates that cooking – both literally and metaphorically – is an inseparable part of his artistic practice.
Cell by David Krňanský, on view at the newly opened Clauda Gallery, was created in collaboration with curator Andrew Wilson. These minimalist paintings work with elements of incompleteness, decay, and geometric restraint. The “cell” plays a central role – understood as a recurring structure across different scales: in the body, the city, and society. Krňanský focuses on moments when continuity collapses, translating them visually into subtly disrupted surfaces and shapes. His work invites viewers to read catastrophe not only as an end but also as the beginning of a new rhythm, new relationships, and new patterns. The exhibition runs until June 27.
Matyáš Maláč will present his solo exhibition The Romantics Were Prompted from June 12 to July 26, 2025 at Polansky Gallery. Curated by Noemi Pukrábková, the exhibition will feature an entirely new series of paintings that further develop Maláč’s ongoing exploration of visual perception in both digital and natural worlds. Transmutation, blending, and the ephemerality of cultural codes (truth, authenticity, illusion) form the exhibition’s thematic core, continuing Maláč’s signature sensitivity to the shifting nature of reality. The opening takes place on June 12, 2025.
