Current Exhibition

24 January 2014 - 20 February 2014

Jan Melena - Secret Services

He had studied painting and history of art in Brno and Ostrava and worked as a postman. Melena finds inspiration in the world of nature and its infinite scale of shapes. Return to the nature seems to be a protest of a man living in a city of Ostrava formerly considered to be an industrial heart of the country. In a fact, animals and specifically their heads do not serve as beings full of harmony and idols inhabiting an arcade world of calmness and peace but they rather act as dark and sultry dreams in the middle of muggy summer night. Heads of the animals with their big eyes are insistently questioning regarding the sense of their existence caged in 2D perspective of a list of paper or a canvas. The author works in intentions of tradition commenced by dark graphic lists of Goya or ecstatic pen drawings of Alfred Kubin. Present times and boom of IT and informatics have also left a mark on his work as the author uses the iPad to create his paintings. The production of Melena might be considered not the most up to date in terms of form but having used modern techno logy it is an absolutely recent product in broad world of contemporary art production.
