Róna, Gabriel, Jetela, and Pavlacký for the first time at Prague's Gracian.
Czech sculptures and paintings in the heart of Prague The Graciano Gallery cordially invites you to a representative sales exhibition of contemporary Czech sculpture and painting, marking its historic first exhibition premiere in Prague. The exhibition was ceremonially opened as part of the Prague Art Week festival and will continue for visitors until December 31, 2026. Following the extraordinary success of sculpture projects in Brno, we are transferring the energy of contemporary art to our Prague branch on Opletalova Street. The exhibition presents a dialogue among four prominent figures in the Czech art scene – from monumental sculptures to technological experiments and raw figurative painting.
About the authors and the exhibition
Jaroslav Róna
Co-founder of the legendary group Tvrdohlaví, a painter and sculptor with a distinctive style. His works draw from archetypes, mythology, and monumental forms. His bronze sculptures bring deep symbolic tension into space and have become a permanent part of leading Czech and international collections.
Michal Gabriel
A leading Czech sculptor and experimenter who connects traditional sculptural craftsmanship with the possibilities of 3D digital technologies. Characteristic organic surfaces made from nutshells or pits and iconic animal and human bodies in bronze are among the peaks of contemporary Czech sculpture.
Tomáš Jetela
One of the most distinctive and original representatives of contemporary Czech figurative painting. On his canvases, he confidently combines expressive painting gestures with paper collage and assemblage, creating captivating psychological portraits with a distinctive, raw atmosphere.
Martin Pavlacký
A representative of the younger sculptural generation, excelling with an extraordinary sensitivity to materials, the purity of geometric forms, kinetics, and spatial dynamics.
