Is art moving into virtual space? Artist and winner of the VR painting championship Michal Škapa will paint a virtual painting in front of your eyes in our cinema room and you will be able to watch the whole process right in front of you. The 3D painting will be available for you to see and explore until 17:30, and the theme (of the painting and the festival) is Within Reach.
Michal Škapa / Tron (1978) is one of the most important artists associated with the Czech graffiti scene. He belongs to the strong generation of writers of the 90s and has long been one of its leading personalities. Škapa's qualities are evidenced by the fact that he has managed to establish himself in galleries. He was one of the artists associated with the legendary Trafo Gallery in Prague, and has been working with Meet Factory, where he has had his own studio for eleven years. As an artist, he works with a variety of media and formats, from murals, acrylic manuscript abstraction and airbrush figurative compositions to site-specific installations and spatial objects. He also works as a graphic designer. Škapa founded the association Analog! Bros serigraphic workshop and works closely with the BiggBoss publishing house. He has participated in several important presentations, be it the unsurpassed international graffiti and street art show Names (2008) or the exhibition City of Obsession (2012) at the Prague City Gallery. He also represented the Czech Republic at EXPO 2010 in Shanghai. His major exhibitions include 00 NIC at Trafo Gallery (2011), Ode wall to wall at the Gallery of Fine Arts (GAVU) in Cheb (2012) and a major project called Graffoman at Chemistry Gallery in Prague (2014). Graffoman was followed by the successful exhibition Analfabet at Trafo Gallery (2017), which he accompanied.
