Creative workshop for children, inspired by the work of Kristína Mésároš, will open at the Villa Pellé Gallery in Prague-Bubeneč on December 7 at 2 PM. In the workshop, participants will work with controlled randomness and will try out the magical technique of masking areas on paper using gum arabic, masking tape, or stencils. Participants will layer dry colored pigments and explore how colors can blend, disappear, and reappear. The result will be a drawing on the theme of A Miracle in Everyday Life. The subject of the drawings will be personal experiences, feelings, or interpretations of miracles from each of the workshop participants. (The creative workshop is suitable for children aged 7 to 13.)
Guided tours of the exhibition PRODIGY are scheduled for December 10 and 11 and January 7 and 8, always starting at 6 PM. Visitors will walk through the exhibition together with the author Kristína Mésároš and the curator of the exhibition Petr Vaňous. This way, they will immediately gain a number of interesting insights into the creative process, sources of inspiration, overall context, and other topics.
Kristína Mésároš (1981) is one of the most prominent figures in Slovak figurative painting. Her work, reflecting elements of magical realism, is characterized by imaginative poetics and the ability to capture the intersection of dream and reality. The author, who currently lives and works in Austria, has made a name for herself in the professional community through a number of prestigious projects – in 2022 she was included in the representative publication Maľba SK (Slovart, Bratislava) and that same year her retrospective monograph Niet rieky bez kameňov was published. The PRODIGY exhibition at Villa Pellé is the first extensive presentation of her work in the Czech environment.
