The Child of Eternity

17. 1. 2025 - 28. 2. 2025

Visual artist Andros Foros (*1993) perceives the motif of the child as an initiatory tool for a dialogical form between different ages within a single being, but always with an emphasis on the innocent child's face and the fragile disproportionate growth anatomy, which on the outside function as confusing mirroring and fragile mimicry. The contradictions that arise in this introspective "dialogue" are inscribed in the nature of the artist's sculptures, paintings and drawings. Sometimes these are gentle misunderstandings, unintentional or embarrassing details, other times they are direct, reckless actions, horrific surprises and traumatic epiphanies.

Andros Foros's "The Child of Eternity" exhibits a game principle of ironic self-reflection realized through intuitive returns to the inner, half-forgotten map of a contradictory childhood, in which are encapsulated, like horcruxes or relics of death, the imperatives that catch up with us at every age. Already the author's pseudonym, Adros Foros, emerges from the immemorial of childhood to become a proxy identity in the struggle against the relentlessness of time. Heroism then appears as a never-ending present.

Andros Foros (b. 1993, Hradec Králové), graduated in 2013-2019 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (Studio of Drawing, Jiří Petrbok School; Studio of Figurative Sculpture and Medals, School of prof. Jan Hendrych and doc. Vojtěch Míča). He is engaged in sculpture, painting and drawing.
