Veronika Zýková: Zbláznavůl – An Exhibition of Abstract Art at DOX Centre for Contemporary Art

Veronika Zýková transforms her large-format abstract works into the format of a children's leporello for this exhibition. The show features abstract pieces created with spray paint and colorful marker drawings, inspired by artist Stanislav Holý.

For the Polička/Shelf gallery space, Veronika Zýková has created several works that translate her typically large-format abstractions onto the surface of a children's leporello. Among the spray-painted abstractions, one can also find colorful marker drawings. Zýková openly admires the artist and illustrator Stanislav Holý, whose work inspires her drawings. The exhibition also includes the author's poems and comic strips, whose heroes, simple geometric shapes, grapple with complex human situations. The artist most often works with acrylic paints, sprays, and markers, applying them to the reverse sides of posters and papers intended primarily for collection. She describes her creative process as calming and therapeutic, guided primarily by her current personal mood and a methodical engagement with chance and imperfections. The outcome of her work, she notes, is often unpredictable.

The exhibition takes place in the Archive of Visual Arts on the first floor. General opening hours for DOX Centre for Contemporary Art apply: Wednesday to Sunday, 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Mondays and Tuesdays are closed. Specific ticket information for this exhibition is not detailed, but it is part of the DOX Centre's programming. A guided tour with the artist and curator is scheduled for May 2, 2026. Further details on educational programs are available, but no explicit ticket prices or booking requirements are listed for this specific exhibition on this page, implying it may be covered by general admission or is part of the free archive space as indicated by the 'Polička/Shelf' project context which often implies a more accessible or integrated display within the institution's overall access.
