František Pavlů (1932–2008), a sculptor, medallist and creator of crumplages, was a key member of the Concrete Artists’ Club. After studying in Prague, he settled in Liberec in 1968, where he developed a body of work defined by minimalist, Neo-constructivist forms and an architectural approach to sculpture, exemplified by his public piece *Wings* (1969). Alongside sculpture, he created works on paper—especially experimental crumplages—from the 1960s onward. A new Museum Kampa exhibition and monograph offer a comprehensive overview of his work, from sculpture and medals to drawings and structural painting, contributing to a fuller understanding of artists associated with the Concrete Artists’ Club. date and time Mon—Sun 10:00—18:00 Related Dear Adriena... Adriena Šimotová & Meda Mládková “Fragile” and “intimate” are the adjectives most frequently used to describe the work of Adriena Šimotová (1926–2014). However, we should immediately point out that the artist herself was, above all, courageous and indomitable. An artist who drew with a knife on paper could not hesitate or doubt. A woman, who at the age of forty-five became a widow and was alone with a son who was barely twelve, had to be strong. Šimotová met Mládek (1919–2022), a Czech-American collector and later founder of Museum Kampa, at the end of the 1960s. When Mládek organised her very first exhibition in Washington, D.C., in the autumn of 1968, which was dedicated to graphics by contemporary Czechoslovak artists, she chose one of Šimotová’s drypoint engravings for the invitation. The two women later became close friends and remained in touch despite the limitations of old age and worsening health. Miloš Ševčík — Resonance The Resonance exhibition presents a selection of works by Miloš Ševčík (1939–2007, Prague) from the 1960s to 2007. Tracking the evolution of his artistic expression in painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture, it moves from figurative and allegorical motifs to characteristic semi-abstract biomorphic structures reflecting a profound relationship with humanity, nature, light and constant transformation. Ševčík’s works connect the imagination with observations of organic forms, capturing the dynamics of growth, decay and the quiet energy of life. The exhibition offers visitors an encounter with art that oscillates between the concrete and the elusive, between form and its dissolution. The exhibition curator, Jolana Pastor, therefore emphasises that Ševčík’s work should not be presented as a linear development, but rather as an emotional and mental map of a single artist who, through figures and biomorphic structures, seeks the essence of human existence. This body of work bears witness to humanity – not the heroic, but the ordinary, the vulnerable and the sometimes absurdly uprooted. And that is precisely why it remains so relevant today.
