Tomáš Jakub "Camping" @ Sophistica Gallery, Prague

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. 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.
