About The Artwork

High Low is an experimental project concerning changes of art work value in time. I asked a curator to evaluate a series of paintings „A Good Vintage” painted just for this project. After that I buried the paintings in the garden where I let them for four weeks. I did my project by the idea of burying a bottle of brandy in the ground, as it is a good custom, which is dug out at an important occasion. After three weeks I dug some paintings out and got them evaluated again by the curator. To keep objectivity I did not tell her about my intention ahead. The project was a research how the accelerated ageing in the ground and my conceptual step influences the value of the artwork itself. I painted a series of landscapes for this project and called it „A Good Vintage“. It consists of five paintings. Their subject-matters are places I am bound to by an intensive emotional tie. They have become a sort of visual records from my journeys and my childhood memories. The act of burying them in my family garden and their stay in the ground represented a possibility to imprint them with so called place magic and my family history. It enriched the content level and changed values of the paintings. “Like a Good Vintage”: Waterworks, oil on canvas I am on my way, oil on canvas Cement factory, oil on canvas Final installation consists of two parts. One of them is created by glass-boxes containing unearthed paintings and the other of expert testimonies, e-mails with curators, a poster and order numbers from the public evaluating of the artworks in the gallery.

In my works there is a fusion of themes of home, family, background on life, landscapes and the theme "UNplaces" - descripting and looking for empty, depleted places, their definition and materialization by various means. I perform on these themes using various media - paintings, installations, objects, photographs and videos. Country and man mean to me mutually affecting units, entities. Mentally and physically. For us, reality – visible and tangible objects – are only different densities, bonds of molecules in substances. On contact, there are forming invisible intersections of body, objects and space. My works are in the Luciano Benetron Collection www.imagomundiart.com and in several private collections in the US, Slovakia and Czech Republic
