Petr Pastrňák
The works on display were created between 2003 and 2008. I made them all during my stay in the Czech Republic. I didn't paint much in India at the time, I was just experimenting. I mostly created works on paper as tests of what I would paint on canvas. However, it often happens that the papers turn out better than the canvases. I find papers more suitable for this type of work because of their delicacy. But it is difficult to exhibit them, as they require special frames and must be placed under glass, which causes a lot of trouble. That is why I have never exhibited larger papers.
Erika Bornová
Beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary motifs in Erika Bornová's work, there are often hidden disturbing messages—frustration, uncertainty, anxiety, (sweet) painful obsessions—that bring forgotten experiences or suppressed feelings and attitudes back to life. From the outset, an important leitmotif in the artist's work has been a return to the past, whether personal or collective history.
