Art workshop for adults and seniors / integration and intergenerational programme: Image as a Trace of Material / to the Expanding Our Collection: Acquisitions 2013–2025 exhibition

As part of our artistic responses, we will focus on selected works by artists featured in the exhibition that encompass the medium of painting. The creative workshop Image as a Trace of Material will focus on painting as a process arising from a specific substance. Inspired by Dagmar Šubrtová, whose work uses pigments that bear a direct trace of landscape and industrial activity, participants will make their own paints from powdered pigments and layer and combine them on paper. Emphasis will be placed on perceiving paint as a material with its own structure and meaning. During the workshop, we will explore the relationship between landscape, human intervention and the transformation of natural processes. The experiment will also include a transition from the handling of materials to the principles of geometric abstraction, inspired by artists such as Vladimír Houdek, Vladimír Kopecký and Tomáš Rajlich. The resulting works will focus not only on the image but also on the imprint of the material, its structure and their evolving narrative.

 

This programme is designed not only for adults and seniors, but also for their children and grandchildren as part of an intergenerational encounter. The workshops are also open to foreign visitors.
