Martina Drozd Smutná's 'No Future Girl': An Exhibition of Contemporary Paintings Exploring Adolescent Vulnerability

This exhibition presents a series of paintings by Martina Drozd Smutná exploring the world of adolescents, their feelings of alienation, and vulnerability. The works address the impact of social networks and global threats on children's mental health, calling for security, friendship, and love amidst disrupted joyful youth.

The exhibition 'No Future Girl' by Martina Drozd Smutná features a series of paintings focusing on the complex inner world of adolescents, their feelings of alienation, vulnerability, and the challenges posed by social networks and global threats. The artist uses symbols referring to childhood to evoke a sense of nostalgia and a longing for security, friendship, and love, though these desires are often disrupted in her works, leaving a fragile sense of unattainability. Drozd Smutná views her art as a language to discuss intimacy, vulnerability, and personal narratives shaped by socio-political phenomena. Her paintings illustrate how family, partner, and professional relationships are influenced by traditional gender roles. They traverse boundaries between past, present, and an apocalyptic future, balancing the desire for change with inertia and the tension between power and powerlessness. Predominantly figurative, her works examine social norms, expectations, uncertainty, and fear in a society where basic needs may go unmet.

The exhibition is listed as 'free'. Visitors are directed to general ticketing and subscription forms for newsletters, but no specific exhibition ticket purchase information is provided beyond its free admission status.
