"Jakub Tomáš is a painter who has been attracting the attention of not only the domestic audience with his figurative compositions in recent years. In the exhibition Camping, he thematizes camping as a phenomenon. He perceives it both sociologically and visually. He is significantly addressed by predefined roles and situations that happen and unfold in a place. Different situations place people in new and unexpected roles."
"He is significantly addressed by predefined roles and situations that happen and unfold in a place. Different situations place people in new and unexpected roles. The mood itself, nature and the typical colors of summer help Jakub Tomáš to make his own authorial boundaries accessible and partly to push them, both in perception and in the concept itself. The exhibition Camping will be Jakub Tomáš's first solo exhibition in Prague after 6 years."
Jakub Tomáš is a painter known for figurative compositions that reach beyond the domestic audience. The exhibition Camping thematizes camping as a cultural and visual phenomenon. The work treats camping both sociologically and visually, focusing on predefined roles and situational dynamics that arise in a place. Different situations place people in new and unexpected roles, revealing social behaviors and micro-dramas. The mood, nature, and typical summer colors play a central role in the imagery. The colors and atmosphere help make the artist's authorial boundaries accessible while partly pushing those boundaries in perception and concept. The exhibition marks his first solo show in Prague in six years.
