Jiři Bezlaj: Arresting the Eye
09. 04. 2010 – 03. 05. 2010
Exhibition by the artist who had been studying in the sixties, the era of student protest movement, and graduated researching the influence of eastern philosophies on contemporary western modern art. Needless to say, it is the very eastern mind-sets that influenced his own sculpture. The Summer cycle, presented at the exhibition, had been evolving since 2003.
„The artists who claims to be ‘stroking’ rather than chiselling the stone, has created petrified flowers which require the viewer’s touch. It takes the palm to feel the border between smoothed and rough surfaces, sliding across smooth contours and stopping at a rough part of animal, human or vegetal body fragment. The sculptures are specifically worked by the sculptor to elicit touching – they try to establish with the viewer the kind of relationship that the sculptor had to them,“ as observed by exhibition’s curator, art historian Petja Grafenauer in the essay accompanying the catalogue.
