Lukáš Kándl,
een kunstenaar, waarvan de stijl door sommigen wordt
gerekend tot het Surrealisme is beslist één van de
kunstenaars waar Galerie Beeldkracht zeer blij mee
is.
De humor en merkwaardige fantasie van deze wereldwijd
gerespecteerde kunstenaar spreekt erg tot onze eigen
verbeelding. Daarbovenop genieten we van het grote
vakmanschap van deze oorspronkelijk uit Tjechië
afkomstige meesterschilder. Tegenwoordig woont en werkt
hij in Frankrijk.
De kunstenaar exposeerde wereldwijd in Europa, Azië,
Australië en de Verenigde Staten in aansprekende cultuur
en wereldsteden als New York, Parijs, Berlijn, Venetië en
Praag. Ook in Nederland is zijn werk op verschillende
exposities te zien geweest. Galerie Beeldkracht exposeert
zijn werk permanent, terwijl in 2010 een solo expositie
van de kunstenaar geprogrammeerd staat.

About
the art by Lukas Kandl
Lukáš Kándl's art is often classified within the surrealist
movement. He explains himself that he composes his paintings somewhat as a ballad which prompts
reflexion, provokes, bemuses and always arouses a multitude of
questions. Painter Lukáš Kándl (Prag 1944) says about his art:
“My painting is somewhere between surrealism and fantastic, a mix of strange and
magic. I like to think that, in an other life, I was living in
Prague, as someone in charge of Rudolf II’s fabulous collection in which you could
find, for example, astrological tools, potions to make gold, the philosophal
stone, impenetrable manuscripts full of
vitriol formula. There were also strange beasts that I especially
love.” |
