Shape Shifters
20. 9. 2024 - 31. 10. 2024
As the title of Pavel Dušek and Zeb One's joint project suggests, their exhibition combo is primarily concerned with shapes and active work with them. In fact, it is precisely morphology that is the logical intersection of their main visual interest. Although in both cases one can also consider a certain content component in the second plan, what their work is primarily based on is form. Context can then lend it meaning, especially in the case that their realisations are located in public space. This is another element that both artists have in common. The first of the two artists is active on a European scale in the field of street art, the second has roots in the graffiti community, and he is also constantly present in the streets of cities in this country and abroad with his paints. In parallel, they are engaged in gallery projects, and the two spheres are intertwined for them - at least in terms of the manner and quality of visual solutions. Also, inspirational sources rooted in the modernist legacy unite them. Although Pavel Dušek develops architectural principles in his work, including material exploration, while Zeb One focuses his attention on graphic design, in other words, writing, their work results in symbols based on the exploration of spatial relationships that directly influence the perception, experience and, above all, awareness of our everyday life.
