A selection from the oeuvre of the sculptor, painter, singer, myth crasher and creator of legends Matyáš Chochola, born in Hradec Králové, will present his long-term endeavor of using art to get to the bone.
Matyáš Chochola (CZ, 1986)is a multiform artist. Primarily a sculptor bringing forth installations, essentially characterized by the use of antagonistic forms displayed through an extensive range of different materials. He invents compositions where the curve goes along with the geometric shape, where abstract forms mix with everyday life objects, creating as a whole a harmonic chaos. He also distinguished himself as a performer and, mix-media photographer and video/film maker. Besides studying at the Vladimír Skrepl studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, he spent parts of his studies at academies in Poland, Austria, and Germany. Last year he studied in the Universität der Kunste in Berlin. In 2012, he won the Václav Chad Award/VI in Zlín’s Youth Salon. His work has been exhibited in Italy, Germany and in various galleries around Czech Republic.
