Ratur & Sckaro: Lightened Souls
It is with great excitement we're now opening a double solo show with the very talented young artists Michal Mr谩z (SK) and Ratur & Sckaro (F), who have been working hard in the studio to present new solo shows.
For quite a while we have been following the 2 French street artists Ratur and his brother Sckaro, impressed by their ability to bridge the gap between graffiti and modern realism. With razor-sharp technique they manage to draw a parallel to the old masters taking classical painting into contemporary. Their work is a mix of hyper-realism and surrealism which is achieved through depicting the human form in a type of broken reality.
About the show the artists tell the following: In this graphic and modern application of oil painting exploring the complexity of colors and light, the contrasts between clarity vs. darkness and classicism vs. modernity are opposed. Through play of light, and its impact on the characters and objects, the two painters explore complexity of the mind, but also the relationship between the body and the spirit. Light, and its relation to the subject, is very important in these compositions - sometimes cold, sometimes hot, the colors are in opposition and create harmony between the omnipresent characters and their environment.
