The joint exhibition at the Z\u00e1horie Gallery of J\u00e1n Mudroch in Senica comprises the works of thirty-four artists. The exhibiting artists include Tero Abaffy, Martina Albrechtov\u00e1, Zuzana Barutov\u00e1, Iveta Bencov\u00e1, M\u00e1rio Birmon, Sl\u00e1vka Brezinov\u00e1, Diana \u010ci\u017em\u00e1rov\u00e1, Veronika \u010cmaradov\u00e1, Eva \u010carnok\u00e1, Luk\u00e1\u0161 Freytag, Gabriel Gyenes, Veronika Hola\u0148ov\u00e1, Katar\u00edna Hutn\u00edkov\u00e1, Katar\u00edna Kne\u017en\u00edkov\u00e1, Eli\u0161ka Kova\u010d\u00edkov\u00e1, L\u00edvia Ko\u017eu\u0161kov\u00e1, Martin Kr\u00e1\u013e, Branislav Krist\u00edn, Miriam Kulacsov\u00e1, R\u00f3bert Ku\u017eidlo, Al\u017ebeta Malcov\u00e1, Krist\u00edna Mes\u00e1ro\u0161ov\u00e1, Sv\u00e4topluk Mikyta, Jakub Mil\u010d\u00e1k, Kleopatra Muchov\u00e1, Andrea Ondis, Eva M\u00e1ria Ondov\u00e1, Juraj Poliak, Attila R\u00f3zs\u00e1s, Paul\u00edna Ryp\u00e1kov\u00e1, Silvia Sekelov\u00e1, Veronika Trne\u010dkov\u00e1 and Mat\u00fa\u0161 Vysock\u00fd<\/em>. The artists belong to different generations, but they all studied with Associate Professor Vojtech Kolen\u010d\u00edk in the Studio of Creative and Colour Printmaking at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava. The exhibition was preceded by the presentation of works at the Pisztory Palace in Bratislava in spring 2020. However, the exhibition at the Z\u00e1horie Gallery of J\u00e1n Mudroch also includes the works of recent graduates.<\/p>\n

The title of the exhibition refers to the interface between the two opposite poles and points to the broad spectrum of the project. At the same time, the term white and black is a familiar name for the studios of free and colour printmaking, derived from the appearance of the spaces. The students\u2019 choice of the studio is reflected in their creative work.<\/p>\n

The exhibition at the Z\u00e1horie Gallery of J\u00e1n Mudroch presents a selection from the current artistic production of Vojtech Kolen\u010d\u00edk and the graduates. The works of exhibiting artists are displayed in three groups. The first shows the works executed in linocut, serigraphy, and aquatint. The second displays paintings, drawings, objects and installations. The third group presents illustrations and animations drawing on graphic design. The graphic principle is visible in every work, only the form of presentation changes. It is attractive to spectators to see the three groups side by side. The artists belong to several generations, thus allowing the works of established artists to communicate with the works of the youngest graduates. Thus the exhibition project becomes a collection of works by the graduates of three decades. If we apply the motto \u201cWe\u2019ll find what we want to find\u201d to the artistic creation of the so-called \u201cKolen\u010d\u00edkovci\u201d, it is noticeable that they pursue their own paths. The encouragement of this endeavour can be perceived as one of the most important legacies of Vojtech Kolen\u010d\u00edk as an educator at the Academy of Fine Arts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The artists explore through painting, drawing, animation, video, digital painting and illustration, object and installation the themes of contemporary man, symbolism, mythology, lettering and brevity, portraiture and also resolve the question of their own identity. The works on display express gestural, abstract, expressive and poetic character. While some of them feature the elements of social criticism, others are an abstract expression of the artists\u2019 exploration and attempts to achieve balance. Emphasis on the individual is perceptible among the exhibiting artists. The diversity of the works on view is the proof of emphasis Vojtech Kolen\u010d\u00edk placed on the freedom of artistic expression with his students.<\/p>\n
