If they lived in the 19th century, Jiří Franta would probably be a open -air player and David Böhm portraitist. The drawings of landscapes that come from Jirka's trips to Kokořínsko and Černošice was planted by David Venus, and perhaps outlined the connection between the female principle / fertility / motherhood and landscape, ancient ties, mystical archetypes. But there are also scissors (time?), Which may be cutting the umbilical cord or, on the contrary, make a mask for a kind of art carnival. All of this is not a reality, but the backdrop that someone painted, or even just clicking on the iPhone.

We are interested in some game, cooperation, manuscript, mistake. Something that we do not know in advance what will arise. The cooperation is tricky in that one comes with something, the other will follow up, and that's something that we are still interested in and enjoy developing. Although it may not be a drawing at all. The topics are packed by the fact that these are actually overwritten calls and discussions from the studio.

It is a drawing composed of a collage. We can say that there is a drawing with a newspaper recording, which was cut out of some material, the fragment was transferred and one of us always responded to it. Discussion transferred to paper. But the joint conversation is not linear. The drawing allows you to read more like in a map than in the text. Which is something we are interested in. It can be read from different directions. We play freely with it and we would like the viewer to play with it and find something there.
