Dark. Deep. Green.

This exhibition showcases the works of Eva Maceková, a Slovak artist who has been living and working in Prague for years. Her fantastic, mysterious paintings—like legends drawn from the depths of the Bohemian Forest—reveal a world where humans and plants coexist in an unusual way. The beings that inhabit this realm create, communicate, vegetate, and reproduce, reluctantly allowing the viewer a glimpse into their habitat. The show will also feature an appendix providing insight into the Czech art scene, including works by fellow artists and friends whose creative approach aligns closely with Eva’s.
