Zbyněk Sedlecký (monograph and exhibition catalogue)
Product detailed description
The latest publication, which is now available for purchase at the Telegraph reception or on the e-shop, is a monograph and exhibition catalogue by painter Zbyněk Sedlecký, published on the occasion of the exhibition Staging, on view at the Telegraph Gallery until 11 May. The exhibition is curated and the book is also edited by Petr Vaňous, who in several chapters presents the painter's journey so far as well as the development of the artist himself. Vaňous here emphasizes especially the transformation over the last few years, when we were all forced to remain in isolation under the influence of the covid pandemic, which was one of the reasons for the change in the visual character of Sedlecky's works. He is moving away from his remote, alienated landscapes and open exteriors to a closed environment. He closes himself in his studio, working with self-portraiture and artificially created reality. He attempts to capture something close to us, something that seems almost at our fingertips. It thus becomes a frequent motif in his current works, as a symbol of knowledge through the sense of touch. He sets this intimate proximity in a mysterious timelessness, using masks, props and mystification. A world staged in this way can easily be questioned and remains elusive.
