"UN VOYAGE" - Radomír Bárta, Vincent Chignier, Rosana de Montfort
House of culture Kroměříž | Foyer 9.12. at 17:00
Some destinies come together for a moment, some for a piece of life. The exhibition of three artists is the result of a collaboration that grew into friendship. It is precisely this camaraderie that connects their steps through art again and again on the same journey together. The exhibition entitled "un voyage" is proof of mutual respect, sincerity and connection.
The work of each of the artists is very different and after all touches on one topic: what is most dear to us in life. For Radomír, it is the sea fauna and the peace he finds in its presence. Vincent assembles rare fragments of fate into painted collages of interpersonal relationships and life moments. Preservation of an organic lifestyle and the fight against artificial intelligence is Rosana's most frequent topic.
Their journey, "un voyage" led this year through several joint projects in Olomouc, Novy Jičín, Šternberk, Brno and now they will stop for a moment in Kroměříž. You can visit their exhibition from December 9, 2024 to February 11, 2025. The exhibition will open with an opening on Monday, December 9 at 5 p.m. in the foyer of the Kroměříž House of Culture under the curatorial baton of Robert Rohál. The vernissage will be presented by Romana Blažková.

"DEVĚT VĚT" in Cross Corridor of Brno townhall
"NINE SENTENCES" 5/9/2024 at 6:00 p.m
Another exhibition from the artistic and humanistic project "SENTENCES", which will be presented in the prestigious premises of the Cross Corridor of Nové Radnice Brno 1, on Dominikánské náměstí.
This exhibition presents the gems of artists from various corners of the Czech Republic. These participants were joined by fate in one art story, where they have space to express themselves with their artistic sentences. Each exhibit tells its own story and leaves room for interpretation by viewers. This exhibition brings to the forefront artworks that boldly break free from traditional forms and engages viewers in a dialogue about what art means and how we can understand it. Be prepared to be inspired and explore new perspectives on the world of art.
The work will be represented by the work of contemporary artists who present themselves mainly in painting and sculpture. The selection of creations should be dense, structured and animalistic, emphasizing the aspect of handwriting and movement during the performance itself. The medium is chosen so that the choice of material is expressive and the statement through it is as sincere and emotional. The work should represent an inner need to communicate intensively with the viewer, whether through the choice of colors, materials or subjects of the works.
Exhibitors are:
🔴 Radomír Bárta
🔴 Jaroslav Jerry Svoboda
🔴 Barbora Dohnalova
🔴 Vincent Chignier
🔴 Kateřina Dubovcová
🔴 Roman Štryncl
🔴 Libor Eyer
🔴 Russell De Montfort

The FIVE SENTENCES project presents 5 visual stories of artists whose work has overcome the most difficult challenges in life and pushed them to far corners of the world in order to find themselves.
They are:
Rosana De Montfort, Jaroslav Jerry Svoboda, Ina Kitzberger, Vincent Chignier and Radomír Bárta.
This concept points to the fact that many of us are facing a decision to leave our native home to start building a new one completely elsewhere. In knowledge and the challenge of integration, we seek not only the reason for our existence, but also a way in which we can be beneficial to one another. FIVE SENTENCES is a summary of these journeys and attempts to write our few words into the book of existence so that those who read this story after us understand who we wanted to be and who we became.
The exhibition will feature the work of contemporary artists, who present themselves mainly in painting and sculpture. The selection of creations should be dense, structured and vivid, emphasizing the aspect of handwriting and movement during the performance itself. The choice of material should be touchy and the statement through it sincere and emotional. The work should represent the inner need to communicate intensively with the viewer, even through the choice of colors, materials, or themes of the works.
In the concept of FIVE SENTENCES, there is also a performance element, when the author of the project, Rosana de Montfort, places one of her paintings in the entrance to the gallery before the introduction. The culmination of this work will be the incorporation of the visitor into the painting with his own colored line.
With this, the author appeals to the fact that the people around us leave their mark on our lives, and their influence does not mean that we lose our own self, but that we enrich ourselves with this imaginary signature of others, experiences without which we would not be ourselves. The visitors' intervention in the author's work will be the last sentence. The image of FIVE SENTENCES will testify to the fact that the created image will not be devalued by others, on the contrary, it will be completed. Co-exhibitors will make the first entries, thereby breaking the fear of others to intervene.
"It's as if our life didn't exist if we didn't share it with others. It's as if our work didn't exist if it didn't enrich others."
The exhibition will be opened by the chairman of UVUO, Oldřich Schnabl
The project will be introduced by its author, Rosana de Montfort
The exhibition is presented by the Olomouc Fine Arts Union and the Olomouc City Gallery. The exhibition is held with the financial contribution of the Olomouc Region and the Statutory City of Olomouc.

SUMMARY OF HIGHLIGHTS
WORK FOR NATIONAL HERITAGE INSTITUTE
Acestorial gallery reproduction for Chateau Bilovec
Zamecka 660, 743 01 Bílovec
In a collaboration with the castle curator, Eduard Valeš, I created ancestrial gallery of relatives of the noble families Thun-Hohenstein, Tenczin-Paczinsky, Pino-Friedenthal, Barons von Bartenstein and Prince Archbishop von Colloredo-Wallsee und Mels.
In cooperation with Kunín Castle and thanks to friendly relations with surviving noble families in Germany, Austria, Poland and the USA, Mr. Kastelán obtained photographs of the originals, according to which I painted the copies.
The National Heritage Institute also gave us permission to copy these paintings. There are around twenty period paintings in oil on canvas, which become an inventory of the castle interiors. It is a very fulfilling project for me. Even as a little girl, I admired the old masters, from whom I learned to perceive the craft. Returning to such an act is a completion of a circle, in which today I find what I have been learning all my life. Such a collection of paintings will be here in a few hundred years, as long as the castle in Bílovec is standing. It was not an easy journey, I often drove 16 hours a day for 4 months to finish the 20 baroque oil paintings. So this season, as part of a tour of Bílovec Castle, you can admire not only the new oak doors leading to the dining room, sunny new curtains, but also the ancestrial picture gallery.

This project arose not only from the need for a larger art venue for the exposition "ROMY&ROSE", but also from the common interest with the curatorium of the Bílovec Chateau and the town hall.
