Commented tour with contemporary art curator Jan Kudrna as part of TELEGRAPH FILM FESTIVAL 2023
Watching art emerging in a particular place at a time of tumultuous socio-political change is always interesting. Artists don't have to deal directly with socially motivated themes to make it clear, often from the very atmosphere of the work or its subject matter, that "something is different". They are sometimes the first to sense an impending social or political change, and their reactions are not long in coming.
The selection of the artists was based not only on their individual talents, but also on the fact that each of them occupies a unique position within contemporary British painting, offering a truly individual perspective to the Czech audience. Tom Anholt, Jessie Makinson, Justin Mortimer, David Brian Smith and Caroline Walker are undoubtedly among the most talented, distinctive and influential painters working in Britain today.
The exhibition will be guided by Czech contemporary art curator Jan Kudrna, who is probably most closely associated with the Robert Runták Art Collection. He is also one of the founders of Olomouc's Telegraph Gallery, where he served as chief curator for two years.
