Exhibition summary

This exhibition at the Kampa Museum highlights the crucial period of Lubomír Přibyl's creative activity from the turn of the 1960s. It focuses on his reductive abstract works, exploring his unique approach to material, form, and the creation of spatial illusions.

Curatorial context

Lubomír Přibyl (b. 1937) is an artist associated with reductive art, known for his early material prints fixing sand onto matrices to form geometric and totemic shapes. His paintings from the same period referenced both primitive art and modernist thought. Since the early 1960s, Přibyl transitioned to using plywood, creating works by pouring sand to form elemental shapes or using cords threaded through drilled surfaces. These techniques, along with contrasts between structural fields and smooth surfaces, achieve an illusion of three-dimensional space. The exhibition focuses on this pivotal period, showcasing his conceptual thinking, material experimentation, and his early recognition on the international art scene despite cultural challenges in Czechoslovakia.
