Opening of a drawing exhibition at Chemistry Prints: Beata Kurucz - Beside Snake Lake

Wednesday, May 6, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m

Beata Kurucz (*1990) is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague; her work combines personal mythology, introspection, and subtly provocative irony. In her paintings, she works with mysterious figures, bold colors, and dynamic, gestural brushwork, where a dark atmosphere clashes with playfulness. Key symbols in her work include Anubis and the horse, which in her interpretation takes on a mystical significance linked to instinct, intuition, and the transition between the known and unknown worlds.

The current exhibition, Beside Snake Lake, presents a more intimate aspect of her work through small formats. These paintings function both as standalone works and as studies for larger canvases, and despite their smaller size, they retain a strong energy and expressive intensity. The exhibition thus offers a raw and immediate glimpse into the artist’s painterly style.

The exhibition also includes prints for sale, such as the older lithograph Anubis and the new limited series of risographs Year of the Horse and Ultra Surfing Through Life – Horsefoot Seal. The Year of the Horse print is based on the Chinese zodiac, according to which 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, a symbol of dynamic change and transformation, which also ties into one of the key motifs of the artist’s work.
