FRANTIŠEK SKÁLA / TRIBAL

The events that are present in Tomáš Bárta's paintings take place between two spaces and the partition between them. These pictures inevitably set a "backward course" through the history of European painting, all the way back to Leon Battista Alberti’s reflections on the construction of pictorial space which he incorporated into his seminal work De pictura (1435). However, instead of a well-organised renaissance arrangement, Bárta offers us more ambiguous spatial relations and a spectral illusion of the objects inhabiting his paintings, as if architecture produced its own ghosts.

TRIBAL is a ritual - is a deepening of Skála‘s myth - is a public visual feast for the audience that is not afraid to enter the Hall full of Pitfalls, the artistic Armory of Delight and looks forward to the Oval Aula!

Forget the unbearable flatness and pseudo-clearness of tribal zig-zag smeared on human skin! Follow the SACULET, have a look at Supercomposition, trace with your eyes the white immaculate Blades! The Naxos is behind the wall!

The fossil past and Sublimation of beauty have turned into a timeless cultural weapon, the Light pours and the Flags prance!

František Skála again performs an offensive visual bravado – to his fans and anyone with doubts his sparkling eye and a firm hand accompanied by a sense for the beauty of the discovered, offer another mythical experience remelted into a fresh series of new objects. The same way as a weapon can be erotic, can also be his neo-archetypal weapons, with features of an axe carving a prehistorical picture to milky plastic blocks, erotic!

SUSTAMID 66!

The artwork of František Skála is ingrown into the countryside and nature, he finds the inspiration in the poetics of the sea as well as civilizational waste, which he rips as the thorn of the Body of the street and stabs it into a kind dissected by time! TRIBAL is a Tour – it is a walk through the forest museum full of impressive Roun aesthetics!

In magic a Circle fulfills an important role of protecting the magician. The circle can be drawn into the clay by hand, or might be made on the floor using magical plants. It is also possible to make a circle by the ritual dagger into the air above his head and from that moment the Magician is protected against any negative forces throughout the whole artistic ritual...
