Exhibition summary
This exhibition showcases works from the 1960s to the 1990s by painter, graphic artist, and object designer Jiří Bielicki. It focuses on his creative period from the mid-sixties to the early seventies, including his unique 'smokies' and 'gravitabils'.
Curatorial context
Jiří Bielicki was a significant representative of the generation that emerged in the early sixties with a focus on reductive artistic creation, becoming one of the first members of the Concretests Club. Despite facing challenges during the communist regime, he continued to create in relative seclusion, developing a body of sensitive and concentrated work. His art aligned with contemporary trends like op-art, kinetism, concrete art, and minimalism, while also extending into applied arts and architecture.
The exhibition at Museum Kampa specifically concentrates on Bielicki's creative output between the 1960s and his final works, with a particular emphasis on the late sixties and early seventies. This period is represented by his 'smokies' (smoke records on a foundation area) and 'gravitabils' (subtle volume forms made of colored foils cut with slits and hung in space). Bielecki's unique approach to space, movement, structure, and light, utilizing plastic and artificial materials, placed his work alongside influential European art groups such as GRAV, Zero, and Nul.
