Optimism at the End of an Era

The solo exhibition by Jiří Černický, titled Optimism at the End of an Era, is a metaphorical probe into the distinctive mindset of this visual artist. The exhibition is conceived as an iconographic unveiling of multiple temporal epochs, as well as a plurality of media ranging from drawings and paintings to sculpture.

Černický’s underlying strategy is rooted in a return to a modernist conception of art, marked by a high degree of activism and a deliberate departure from aestheticism and objectivity. His work bears the hallmarks of experimentation and is often infused with satirical humour.

The viewer is thus presented with a figurative endoscopic glimpse into the intricate labyrinth of Černický’s imagination.
