GALLERY MORITZ visited by more than 3000 visitors in 2022 season!

"ENCOUNTER IN TIME"

Gallery MORITZ- Chateau Bilovec

17.9. - 31.10. 2022

● Jaroslav Jerry Svoboda

(Prague, Vancouver) expressive painter and symbolist

● Michal Janovský

(Česká Lípa) surrealist painter, draftsman and lecturer

● Radomír Bárta

(Brno, Sebranice) artistic blacksmith, sculptor and lecturer

● Rosana de Montfort

(Bílovec, London) surrealist painter, sculptor, curator

The presentation of these four artists in one exhibition is probably one of the most interesting in the Moravian-Silesian Region, as it is a connection of friends with significant destinies in the art industry. Each of them has erudite exhibitions and international collaboration behind them. Each of them can boast collectors on many continents. Their union is quite unusual in this exciting time when people are largely competing with each other. Without prejudice, under a surreal sky, it tells the story of ourselves.

The project of the Magnus Gradus art group (Svoboda, Bárta, Montfort) will welcome a special guest, Michal Janovský, a leading Czech surrealist, to the exhibition. The exhibition takes place under the patronage of Rosana de Montfort, who founded the Moritz Gallery in the summer of 2020 in cooperation with the Bílovec city administration and the castellan of the Bílovec castle, Eduard Valeš.
The exhibition under the working title "MEETING IN TIME" will thus be proof that people from different regions, genres and art technologies can combine their talents into one cultural experience for the general public even outside the big cities, precisely in Bílovec.

GALLERY MORITZ IS GETTING A MAKEOVER!

You all know by now I am a builder too. So it becomes very natural for me to transform any interior space. Because of the new project "ENCOUNTER IN TIME" in the Gallery Moritz, where we welcome some very important colleagues, I have decided to give the gallery a makeover. With a help of several people we have transformed this place from 18th century hall into 21st century exposition space. Local company Denas Color has sponsored not only floor paint, but also man power. The directors of the company came personally to help and apply the treatment and paint. A friend of ours, Petr Pavlík has helped with the building of "THE GATES", a structure made of steel and plasterboard in the middle of the room. My dear husband helped with the electric installation and logistics. And so Gallery MORITZ is ready to dazzle!

Thank you all! XX

My art lectures at the Mathematical college GMK and exposition

Another splendid idea was born in the heads of lectors at the College of Mikulas Kopernicus.
Art classes for the students aged 15 was a vast success and many wouldn't tell the difference between their works and a production of an erudite artist. Each student has chosen to paint a different portrait and achieve a likeness their own way, with their own technique. My role was to simply show the young people all possible techniques and to nudge them in the right direction. The artworks have been exhibited at the foyer of the college and later at Gallery MonAmi in Bilovec. A great way of sharing my own experience and helping others to embrace their own creativity. A great time!

"PEACEFUL ALTERNATIVE"

Oil on canvas 520 x 150cm, year 2022

Wide angle painting dedicated to the spirit of this time.

It will be exhibited on April 6, 2022 in the Passage of Czech Design in the ARTVARIUM project, curated by PhDr. Renáta Mužíková, PhD and the gallery are headed by PhDr. Hana Homolková and Štěpánka Zinkaizlová.

What is behind this triptych?
It's about us as we keep shouting ... For the last 3 years it's been a soda for all of us .... either it's: "mee too", or vax = antivax, or the isis, or the parliament, or the trumpeters, or biden, or pope, or pedophilia, XX-XY-XXZ and divided toilets, or rescue from Kabul, bombed by Israel-Palestine, Ukraine, etc etc ... And it will be worse. And how should a person live a normal life at such a time ???? Probably normally ... calamities probably belong to us. And one day the eternally balanced sanguine Anunaki will return and make an end to our comfort ... and there will be peace.

Exposition is held at Kunín Castle as part of the project of the National Monuments Institute "Year of the Enlightened Nobility".

The gallery spaces of the Baroque mansion, which are intertwined with fantastic unique chimney systems, will for a time be home to works by the British-Czech couple. Images inspired by magical cities and wandering in the fantasy world now unite them in a common artistic path. The name INTERWORLDS comes from the field of activity, where the works of both intertwines, and where the mutual influence in the choice of techniques, compositions and colours is evident.

Russell a.k.a. Githyanki has always devoted his creative time to black and white photography. The transition towards colour and canvas has taken place during the hard lockdown in 2020, where he diverted his attention towards an activity, which will widen his field of expression and also give his frustration with the situation an outlet. His colourful acrylics are works of mind unmarked by popular views or trends in art and therefore highly intuitive and genuine. Paintings arising in this period of his life are full of hope, optimistic colours and freedom.

Rosana's expressive cityscapes and abstractions are walking hand in hand with Russell's theme, creating so a world, where both meet on the canvas.
The couple also led a group of volunteers during an artisitc workshop in the antique bowlong gazebo showing , that everybody can create art without boundaries, criticism or fear of failure. Atendees of this workshop were 2-65 years old and had a lot of fun!

The exhibition takes place during the visiting hours of the castle season from June until the end of October 2021.

When two women of a simmilar ilk meet, it usually leeds to an interesting arrangement. The destiny of Romy Štryncl and Rosana reaches back to year 1991, where they have met for the first time at the beaty pageant contest MISS CZECHOSLOVAKIA. After 30 years the two unite the step in the artistic project called ROMY&ROSE, which is an art exhibition and bennecifial auction.

Romy has painted a picture of cat named BELKA, who has been auctioned for wonderful 50.000 CZK (2300 USD). The winnings will go entirely to the Kočičí dům u Mourečka, depozitum Cat World z.s.

Chateau Bílovec

Zámecká 660, 743 01 Bílovec

https://www.zamekbilovec.cz/

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. The idea to widen the touristic attraction by an art experience was met with optimism and the castle curator Eduard Valeš offered a hall on the ground floor for this purpose. In the next 3 months the premise has undergone a refurbishment, existing fixtures and fittings have been removed, walls have been plastered and painted, an advanced heavy-duty hanging system has been installed and furniture moved in. The 82sq m hall with high ceilings and plenty of wall space is now capable of hosting not only wall art, but also sculptures. Rosana became not only the designer of this premise , but also the curator of art expositions.

Born in California, Darren Baker took his degree in modern and classical languages at the University of Conneticut. He lives with his wife and children in the Czech Republic, where he writes and translates. His biographies include Henry III: The Great King England Never Knew It Had (The History Press, 2017), Simon de Montfort and the Rise of the English Nation (Amberley, 2018) and The Two Eleanors of Henry III (Pen and Sword Books, 2019).

Not only can I be proud of his literary finesse which he puts into his every word, but also to consider him our friend. The main theme of the graphic made for this book will be also made to a large size painting, which will remain in family posession.

Because I believe everyone can be an artist, I prepared a charitable 10 ninety-minute art lessons under my guidance.
Lesson topics:
1. The meaning of light, shadow, their composition and the connection with the emotional mood
2. The colors we feel and why? What is color contrast?
3. Weight of geometry and its application in painting-drawing
4. Abstraction, computability, or chance?
5. Painting according to individual feeling
6. Still life and objects in it
7. Landscape and peripheral painting
8. Cities, streets and architecture
9. Portrait and soul in it
10. Free creation

After 80 years, the painting of the Blessed Ceslaus, O.P (Czesław Odrowąż, patron of the Sedlnitzky family) will return to the Bílovec chateau to protect this ancient aristocratic mansion. Thanks to the combined forces of Mr. Castellan Eduard Valeš and the renowned painter Rosana de Montfort this task will now materialise. A blissful idea to return the painting of the bl. Ceslaus back to the chateau was born at the end of this summer, when the chateau acquired a beautiful baroque frame into its collections. A frame without a picture is already asking for a valuable piece of art.

The task, albeit difficult, was taken up by the painter Rosana de Montfort, who after 27 years abroad has returned to the Czech homeland. She has been painting since the age of four and it was the study of the old masters that led her to a successful artistic future.

It was at the very same chateau in Bílovice that she had an exhibition of her paintings this year, showing not only modern works but also paintings in the nostalgic style of ancient centuries.

The picture is over 2 meters tall and is painted with oil paints on linnen. Unfortunately, only smaller digital photograph is used for the reproduction, however as the work progresses, the image will be very close to the original. The whole process lasted 4 months and is approaching the grand finale.
On December 7, 2019, the Dean of Bílovec P. Ing. Mgr. Lumír Tkáč will bless the painting after it has been revealed. After that the members of the Chateau Bílovec Guard hang the picture in its place in the Great Dining Room of the Chateau, where the picture of the patron of the Sedlnitzky family will be presented to the public and become part of the chateau collections.

The collection of nostalgic and romantic paintings  will be shown in one of the most beautiful places in the Moravian-Silesian Region, in the Baroque Nový Jičín. The following companies will support the event:
