The exhibition of three painters – Michal Ožibko (*1981), Aleš Brázdil (*1983) and Pavel Samlík (*1988) is a case study of the state of contemporary Czech descriptive painting, whose hyper-realistic or naturalistic foundations are gradually transforming into a reflection on desacralized vision and perception.
The painting's link to static photography, documentation, or various forms of moving images (film, video) reveals new expressive worlds in the realm of peripheral subjects associated with the partial aura of what is seen. Within the pictorial format, the perfect whole is always merely a cross-section of an elusive, abstract, and therefore blurred space-time continuum, which is captured in its constant dynamic transformation. Space, and with it the figure, objective states, and spatial frames are carved out as focused exempla in which pulses an unrest associated with the mystery of so-called objective vision.
