This exhibition showcases the work of Patrik Illo, a prominent figure in contemporary Slovak glass art. The exhibition, 'Something Is Not Nothing,' explores themes of fluidity, interaction, and kinetics through a diverse range of his creations from the past 30 years.
Patrik Illo (1973) is a leading contemporary Slovak glass artist whose nearly thirty-year career spans commercial design, art design, and free creation. The exhibition 'Something Is Not Nothing' delves into the intensity, concentration, and paradox inherent in his work, guided by curator Petr Nový. Illo's art is characterized by three key principles: fluidity, interaction, and kinetics, creating a meta-space where he explores the 'technology of creation' and its variability. His works engage the viewer, provoking thought and sharing the process of discovery with gentle humor. While Illo's art has been featured in the DOX by Qubus gallery shop, this marks his first solo exhibition in the local exhibition space. The exhibition's concept is closely tied to the monograph 'Patrik Illo' (SK-LLO, Slovart, 2025), which surveys his artistic journey over the last 30 years.
The exhibition is held in the DOX by Qubus design shop and is presented as part of exhibitions for passing viewers.
