Zdeněk Sýkora - Karel Malich: Lines and Wires - A Dialogue

The concept for this exhibition, which confronts two great Czech artists: Zdeněk Sýkora and Karel Malich, was prepared by the well know German theoretic Hans-Peter Riese. The exhibition is based on comparing the evolution of both artists over the past twenty years. Sýkora will be represented by a selection of paintings, in which we see how he works with lines and colours. For each Sýkora painting there will be a “wired object” by Karel Malich, who works with lines intersecting space. The comparison of these two artists is very interesting because, even though their works are conceptually very similar, their origins are diverse.
