The exhibition project BLOOM brings together the works of Tomáš Absolon and Milan Vagač for the first time in a dialogue that blurs the line between abstract and figurative positions in contemporary painting. The artists explore the possibilities of visual representation of images whose narrative is not direct, but composed of visual shortcuts, geometric shapes, dynamic gestures, or material imitations that rely on our imagination or previous experience. The surface transforms into an object, the digital footprint into a material record, and physical painting takes on the character of a virtual image. Both find inspiration in various fields—be it nature, music, popular culture, new technologies, sci-fi, or architecture. They assemble fragments of the real world into abstract-looking painterly compositions that bear traces of familiar moments or visions of future entities.
