VÁCLAV SIKA: OBJECTS AND PAINTINGS
This exhibition of Václav Sika’s work presents a selection of his objects and paintings from the past 15 years. Since 1990, Sika has operated as a leader of the Špillar gallery in Domažlice. He started producing work as an artist in the late seventies.
His work is influenced not only by the time, but especially the environment in which he lives and works. He is usually cast in group exhibitions with concepts based on the ornamental, geometric abstraction and nature.
