Curatorial context

The exhibition 'Jan Rapin — Elegance' is a significant survey dedicated to the artist Jan Rapin on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Presented in collaboration with the SOCHÁRIUM Gallery, it aims to provide the most extensive overview of Rapin's artistic output to date. The exhibition is thoughtfully structured into two distinct parts. The ground-floor gallery displays works created over the last ten years, offering a contemporary perspective on his artistic evolution. Meanwhile, the Tower Gallery is organized into thematic floors, guiding visitors through different facets of his work, including spaces described as the Gentlemen’s Lounge, Gentlemen’s Club, Hall of Music and Dance, and insights into the artist’s studio. The core theme permeating Jan Rapin's paintings is 'elegance and feminine beauty', which serves as a central motif throughout his oeuvre. These paintings are presented in sensitive dialogue with sculptures by other artists who also engage with similar themes, notably Zdeněk Legner, Barbora Fausová, and the late Vítězslav Odstrčil. This curatorial approach enriches the visitor's experience by placing Rapin's work within a broader artistic context that explores shared aesthetic concerns.

The exhibition is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00. Specific ticketing details for the exhibition itself are not provided on this page, but general contact forms and subscription options are available.
