Miloslav Moucha, Jindřich Zeithamml / 2 + 1

church of saint lawrence in klatovy

23. 7. - 30. 10. 2016

A joint project by two friends – a painter and a sculptor who have achieved acclaim on the Czech and the European art scene. When Moucha and Zeithamml met in exile in Düsseldorf in the 1970s, they realized that they took a similar approach to art and life, and have been exhibiting together ever since.

Jindřich Zeithamml (1949) has been familiar to Czech audiences since his return from exile in the 1990s. He has taught at Prague's Academy of Fine Arts since 1995, and is known primarily for his minimalist geometric sculptures. Miloslav Moucha (1942) is one of several Czech artists to have gained fame primarily abroad. He emigrated to France in 1968, and in 1974 was made a professor at the Superior Institute of Fine Arts in Besançon. Since 1990, he has lived and worked in both France and the CzechRepublic. His early works are conceptual in nature, and from there he moved to classical painting with a focus on large-format abstract sensual landscapes.

At the Church of St. Lawrence in Klatovy, Moucha and Zeithamml will be presenting a joint exhibition of sculptures and large-format paintings.
