The Waking Dragon – Contemporary Inspiration by Told East-Asian Art
at Kinský Palace, National Gallery in Prague
Prague, Czech Republic
Sep 05, 14 - Nov 23, 14
There are several distinct artists of younger generation active in the Czech lands who have been directly involved by old Asian art. Some of them studied in Asia (e.g., Dana Winklerová – scholarship at the Academy of Fine Arts in the Chinese city of Hángzh艒u) or cooperated with contemporary Asian (Chinese) artists (Tomáš Kuba膷ka, Dana Sahánková) and their work in part develops under the influence of East-Asian artistic aesthetics. An important source of inspiration to several Czech artists of young generation (for example, Eva Pelechová) is also the influence of East-Asian applied arts, mainly old Chinese and Japanese ceramics. read more...

Toronto, ON, Canada
Sep 05, 14 - Oct 05, 14
MULHERIN is pleased to present Patrick Lundeen's premier solo exhibition in Toronto: Letting It All Hang Out.

Ronen Siman-Tov: Surveyors
at The Jerusalem Artists' House
Jerusalem, Israel
Aug 30, 14 - Oct 18, 14
For the past fifteen years, Ronen Siman-Tov has been carrying Avraham Ofek’s (nearly extinguished) torch, while traversing the high road of creation, marked by the existential and religious. Painting after painting, Siman-Tov ponders the riddle of existence and the metaphysical meaning of being a man, between earth and heaven. The “Measurers” series marks a dramatic shift in Siman-Tov’s artistic grammar, an approach that is clearly Baroque, and which links his grammar to that of the early Velázquez and even Caravaggio. read more...
