This exhibition showcases the work of Czech artist Daniel Pitín, featuring over thirty paintings that highlight his recent creations. The exhibition also includes films, some created specifically for the show, which explore Pitín's artistic influences and the concept of 'paper towers' as a metaphor for the illusory nature of reality in our information-saturated world.
The exhibition 'Papírová věž' (Paper Tower) by Czech artist Daniel Pitín (born 1977) presents a comprehensive look at his artistic output, focusing on his recent paintings, complemented by films. Pitín's work is characterized by a rich, layered aesthetic that, while appearing inviting, delves into darker themes of hidden dangers and unspoken threats. His creations often feature fragmented theatrical scenes, cinematic tension-building, labyrinthine constructions of reality, and depictions of figures in desolate architectural remnants, all contributing to a profound and unsettling visual world. Curator Petr Nedoma notes that Pitín's work accurately captures the metaphor of today's information-overloaded and fragmented society, leading to social atomization. The exhibition grapples with the breakdown of a single, verifiable truth, suggesting that clinging to the past is insufficient to hold the world together. Instead, Pitín's paintings emphasize the importance of returning to roots, reconnecting broken threads, and maintaining a sense of continuity as a means of resisting fragmentation.
