The exhibition Roaring Fluids at The House presents the latest series of drawings by Marie Lukáčová, in which the artist focuses on the kitchen as a space of both symbolic and real significance. Using a visual language, she explores cooking not only as an everyday routine but also as a way we process emotions, relationships, and experiences. The metaphor of cooking—cutting, mixing, baking, and seasoning—serves here as a parallel to psychological and bodily processes. The drawings combine playfulness with a critical view of social norms. Lukáčová addresses stereotypical gender roles in the household and transforms the kitchen into a space for discussing care, invisible labor, and emotional burdens often linked to the female experience. Her visual language draws from pop culture, mythology, and everyday experience, creating visual situations oscillating between absurdity, intimacy, and analytical irony. Lukáčová shows that everyday rituals such as food preparation can carry symbolic meaning and become a mirror of mental states and social structures. Her work broadens the perspective on intimacy, embodiment, and emotionality as integral parts of social life. The exhibition is curated by Veronika Čechová, and the opening will take place on May 29 at 6 pm.
The exhibition With Beating Hearts We Wake Up at Spot Gallery presents the current work of Anežka Hošková. Hošková works with introspective motifs while also linking them to questions resonating in a broader social context—from environmental uncertainty to the need to redefine relationships and identity. Her visual language is direct and intuitive, often emerging from free associations and personal symbolism. She works with signs, ornaments, and archetypal shapes, which she does not confine to a fixed system but leaves open to interpretation. The drawings and paintings often evoke a fluid, changing space drawing from post-romantic trends and subcultural genres. The exhibition creates a calm yet multi-layered environment that does not lead to concrete conclusions but rather offers an opportunity to slow down and reflect—not only in terms of content but also form. Her approach to creation does not stem from a need to convey fixed truths but from a desire to share processes that usually remain in the background: dreaming, listening, losing oneself in details.
The exhibition Close Your Eyes and Yet See at Magnus Art Gallery J&T Bank presents the collection of designer and artist Janja Prokić. Janja is not only a jewelry designer but also a passionate art collector. Her collection combines works by Czech and international artists, with a significant portion created by women artists. It features paintings and sculptures that do not rely on monumental gestures but open space for closeness and intimacy between the artwork and the viewer. As curator Valérie Horváth notes, the exhibition connects three worlds—the art that Janja Prokić carefully selects for her collection, the jewelry she creates as small sculptures full of meaning and symbolism, and finally Janja herself and her personality. It becomes clear that these spheres are inseparably linked. This selection is not driven by a conscious gender criterion but by a resonance with the inner need to create, which especially moves her in women artists. She admires their tireless passion to create despite often demanding life roles such as family care and other responsibilities. Symbols like eyes or hair often appear in Janja’s work and collection, holding deep personal meaning and helping her establish a relationship with individual pieces. The exhibition features works by Klára Hosnedlová, Milena Dopitová, as well as Adriena Šimotová and Toyen.
