The exhibition Zero Tolerance will present the Alšova South Bohemian Gallery of one of the most prominent Czech middle -generation painters, Julia Reichel. Coincidentally, they are an artist who comes from South Bohemia and his work has been partly created here.
For his work Reichel draws on mass culture and civilization phenomena. In the widest sense, it "recycles" a physical and information matmark, which fulfills both our consumer everyday life and communication and imagination. Especially in his paintings reflect the speed and chaoticity of the time, intricate information flows, the continuous transformation of words into hashtags and images into memes. If we do not take pop-art as a closed historical chapter or as a specific aesthetic register, then Reichel offers its current equivalent.
Like many younger visual artists and artists, Julius Reichel (born 1981) initially devoted himself to graffiti. In 2010-2016, however, studied in the painting studio of Jiří David at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. He has regularly exhibited in galleries since the beginning of the last decade. However, he placed a number of objects that he created from the found materials into the public space by the Guerilla way. It is represented by Prague Karpuchina Gallery. He works on paintings and buildings alternately in Prague and his birthplace, South Bohemian Zvíkov near Velešín. He took over a professional pseudonym from his great -grandfather, whose Budweiser apartment once lived.
