Curatorial context

The exhibition 'Vladimir Kopecký. Clash of Colours.' at Museum Kampa features a collection of works created by the artist over the past two years, with the entire installation conceived as a cohesive whole by Kopecký himself. A significant figure in Czech art, Vladimír Kopecký began his career in the 1950s and gained recognition for his contributions to the Czechoslovak pavilion at EXPO 58 in Brussels. His extensive body of work encompasses both gestural painting and geometric abstraction, but he is particularly celebrated as a distinctive Czech colorist. Color is central to his creation, treated as a tangible element that becomes the main form-shaping component. In his glass art, Kopecký utilizes color to enhance distinctiveness and translucence, creating specific delimited color fields where shades blend seamlessly. He often disregards conventional principles of color composition and traditional relationships between colors. Instead, he employs color combinations to construct structures and solutions in space, defining the very essence of his artworks. The exhibition installation is conceived by the artist, offering a direct engagement with his artistic vision.
