Location: Burza #4, Bubenské nábřeží 306/13, Praha 7
About event
Trafo Gallery cordially invites you to an exhibition of paintings by Jakub Špaňhel (* 1976) called Venice, which represents his current work from the Venetian environment, where he has been living and creating for a long time. In contrast to earlier canvases, in the recent ones he gets closer to the genius loci of this important art center, and conveys to the audience an all the more dedicated, pure view of it. The opening will take place on Tuesday 26 November from 19:00 at Trafo Gallery, followed by a guided tour on Wednesday 8 January 2025 at 18:00.
The exhibition is curated by Radek Wohlmuth.
DJ Robot will provide musical accompaniment!
The title of Jakub Špaňhel's new exhibition already reflects his long-term fascination with Venice, which is increasingly prescribed in his work. The fact that it is a linguistic form used by Venetian, i.e. a locally historically defined language distinct from general Italian, suggests an even more personal relationship than before. Not only that, it is a magical city with a unique atmosphere, which is one of the most prominent art centers in Europe. After Vienna, it is also one of the places most Czechs visited first after the fall of the Iron Curtain. And now also the place where Jakub Špaňhel lives part of the year. His previous works depicted what Venice outwardly symbolizes rather than what it actually is. Be it the typical Byzantine basilica in Piazza di San Marco, the veduta with the Venetian lagoon or the famous glass chandeliers and mirrors from Murano. But something else appears for the first time in the new paintings. That is, Venice as he knows it now: side streets, flickering lights of the last residents' apartments and night canals with turquoise black water...
