The exhibition “4 and a Half Series” presents selected works by Jitka Svobodová from the past 7 years. This exhibition presents her most recent sets, drawn already exclusively with pastels, namely, Smoke, Tables, Curtains, Dwellings (in combination with wire) and the beginning of a series that remains untitled for now. At the center of interest remains her characteristically concentrated work with commonplace items and scenes we encounter every day. This particular exhibition absolutely ignores the artist’s wire sculptures and concentrates exclusively on the medium of drawing in two dimensions. Another component is a series of timeless photographs by Markéta Othová, taken in Svobodová’s studio especially for this exhibition.
