TOPOGRAPHY OF SOLITUDE (EXHIBITION CATALOGUE)
Product detailed description
The latest publication, which is now available to buy from the Telegraph's reception or e-shop, is the exhibition catalogue by artist Michal Škoda, published on the occasion of the Topography of Solitude exhibition, on show at the Telegraph Gallery until 10 August. The exhibition presents for the first time over thirty canvases from Škoda's most recent body of paintings (2020-2022). The current painting chapter is not entirely new, however, as Škoda has been working with different types of painting for a decade, and painting on canvas is essentially an extension of the possibilities of recording images in an old-new technique. This time, the artist has "seduced" the conventional format of painting on canvas and with it has accepted the limitations that this medium creates, including the burden of a tradition of more than a hundred years of abstract painting. Here, too, he remained true to his nature, vision and imagination. Abstract, geometric and with a specific transcendence, he reflects and visualizes "relations - delimitation - positive emptiness". He creates art that rewards slower, more meditative viewing.
