Although they have been shaped by different historical experience and different interests, views and opinions, both have come to a remarkably similar artistic expression that can be formally defined by N\u00e1pravn\u00edk\u2019s term \u201cinversage\u201d \u2013 a mirror duplication of reality and its fragments inducing a kaleidoscopic visual perception.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The verses of the surrealist poet, sculptor and photographer Milan N\u00e1pravn\u00edk (1931\u2013 2017), published in the book <em>Dech noci \/ Noc duch\u016f \/ Duch noci \/ Noc dech\u016f<\/em> (Artfoto, Prague, 1995), introduce a series of his photographs created by a unique technique, which he described as <em>inversage<\/em> and defined it as a <em>\u201csurrealistic method of creating magical reality by combining two or more inverse images of real objects, their parts, or non-objective surface structures.\u201d<\/em> He perceived this mirror image as one of the fundamental <em>\u201cMorphological principles of nature, the organizational archetype of macro- and microcosm.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is no wonder that his discovery had the nature of initiation. <em>\u201cA piece of decayed wood lay in front of me in flattened, half-dried grass [\u2026] on the brink of a small, dark pool. This strange and as if deliberately made object [\u2026] seemed to be one of the unexpected and symbolic objects that we usually encounter only in a dream. [\u2026] The tangle of dirt, grass and roots, and their inverse reflection in the dark, still water of the pool, assembled into a symmetrical whole, into the face of a demon observing me with a piercing and scornful look. [\u2026] I suddenly had an intense feeling of being spoken to [\u2026], of a kind of alien intervention, a psychotic phenomenon whose erratic cause is beyond my comprehension.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Milan N\u00e1pravn\u00edk thus described the fine line between a real-life situation, sensory perception and magical recognition, the transition between reality and the \u201crealm behind the mirror\u201d, which is only accessible to shamans \u2013 or madmen \u2013 simply to those whose perception is for some reason wider than normal. However, the more this sensitive perception expands, the more the usual relationships between the individual phenomena diverge and the whole system threatens to collapse. At that moment takes over the self-preserving need to put order into chaos, to conquer the incomprehensible irregularity of shapes and to direct them \u2013 and to tame the chaos of one\u2019s mind as well. However, if we try to violently put the plethora of nature morphology and the phenomenal world into a fabricated system, we will see its dark, evil face.<\/p>\n<p>This, initially randomly and subsequently deliberately, happened to Milan N\u00e1pravn\u00edk in his analogue, black-and-white, hand-composed <em>inversages<\/em>, which he began to create in the late 1970s. Without any external connections, this also happens to Jozef Vojt\u00e1nek (1979), a trained car mechanic, an art and computer autodidact, and yet an original Slovak artist for whom the <em>Kaleidoscope<\/em> exhibition is the first public presentation of his drawings and manipulated computer photomontages.<\/p>\n<p>Vojt\u00e1nek\u2019s seemingly abstract drawings that originated at the beginning of the millennium were preceded by psychedelic visions that he carefully wrote down. He filled pages of squared paper from left to right, from top to bottom, without paragraphs or pauses by a continuous stream of words that would come to him just as urgently as the visual images. <em>\u201cThe head of the statue was moving below. At that moment, the sticker increased in size several times, flew over the head, and fell into the black space. When it stopped, a huge glowing surface was created, with little squares on it. The area grew bigger and bigger until it burst, and a strange spiral hole formed in its centre. The head of the statue &#8230; flew down until a square hole appeared in front of it and more of them on the right. Suddenly, there was a wall with four holes in front of it \u2013 when it entered the first one, it came out of the second, when it was in the last, it came out in the middle of the upper part of the cage&#8230;. Then strange wings grew out of its ears, and the head flew upward. Then the wings disappeared again, and the head turned into a golf shovel, and dirt appeared in the hole beneath it. It was in a hole on a golf course\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The visions were so tangible that Jozef Vojt\u00e1nek dreamed of making them move and sound, of transferring them into a movie clip. Due to the lack of resources he initially had to settle for ink and crayon drawings. But on one February night last year he got inspired and equipped with a camera and a flashlight he went on his first \u201chunt\u201d. Like N\u00e1pravn\u00edk, he first photographed real objects, structures, and scenery \u2013 flaking, sprayed walls, industrial fragments, traffic signs, which he then edited on his mobile phone with commonly available graphic applications. Over time, he started to use simple logos and characters available on the computer, which he sometimes manipulated in even seven different applications, and recently he has made additional drawings around them on the tablet. The contemporary technologies allow him an infinite number of combinations, distortions and variations that still retain the morphology of fractals \u2013 self-similar, endlessly evolving objects that are the basis of natural morphology. Thus was created an eclectic postmodern pastiche, a dizzying labyrinth of visual styles that, despite its diversity, still corresponds to the original hallucinatory ideas of its author. It is connected with Milan N\u00e1pravn\u00edk\u2019s inversages not only by the striking similarity of the seemingly irreconcilable elements but also by the dominant principle of mirroring and creating a kaleidoscopic image of the world as we do not know it. And above all by the demonic form of magical reality that is only revealed to the chosen ones.<\/p>\n<p>Terezie Zem\u00e1nkov\u00e1, Prague, June 2019<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">CEN\u00cdK \/ PRICE LIST:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JOZEF VOJT\u00c1NEK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jozef Vojt\u00e1nek, digit\u00e1ln\u00ed fotografika, 2017-2019 \/ Jozef Vojt\u00e1nek, from the series Masks, digital photographics, 2017 \u2013 2019, 20 x 20 cm, diasec, edice 1\/50, cena: 3.500,- K\u010d \/ 140 eur<\/p>\n<p>(mno\u017estevn\u00ed slevy: 2 ks: 3400,-, 3 ks 3300,-, 4ks 3200,- K\u010d, 5 ks 3100,-, 6 v\u00edc ks: 3000 K\u010d)<\/p>\n<p>Jozef Vojt\u00e1nek, digit\u00e1ln\u00ed fotografika, 2017-2019 \/ Jozef Vojt\u00e1nek, from the series Masks, digital photographics, 2017 \u2013 2019, 30 x 40 cm, vysokost\u00e1l\u00fd pigmentov\u00fd tisk \/ Hanemuhle pap\u00edr, edice 1\/50, cena: 3.500,- K\u010d \/ 140 eur<\/p>\n<p>(mno\u017estevn\u00ed slevy: 2 ks: 3400,-, 3 ks 3300,-, 4ks 3200,- K\u010d, 5 ks 3100,-, 6 v\u00edc ks: 3000 K\u010d)<\/p>\n<p>Josef Vojt\u00e1nek: Kresby, tu\u0161 \/ pastel \/ pap\u00edr \/ \u00e1 7000,- K\u010d<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MILAN N\u00c1PRAVN\u00cdK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Milan N\u00e1pravn\u00edk: Inverz\u00e1\u017e, bromost\u0159\u00edbrn\u00e1 vintage fotografie, 80. l\u00e9ta 20. stolet\u00ed \/ Milan N\u00e1pravn\u00edk: Inversion, gelatin silver vintage photography, 1980s<\/p>\n<p>Inverz\u00e1\u017ee velk\u00e9 50 x 70 cm signovan\u00e9: 40\u00a0000 K\u010d<\/p>\n<p>Inverz\u00e1\u017ee velk\u00e9 50 x 70 cm nesignovan\u00e9: 34\u00a0000 K\u010d<\/p>\n<p>Inverz\u00e1\u017ee st\u0159edn\u00ed A3 nesignovan\u00e9: 20\u00a0000 K\u010d<\/p>\n<p>Inverz\u00e1\u017ee mal\u00e9 A4 nesignovan\u00e9: 12\u00a0000 K\u010d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Artinbox Gallery<br \/>\nPerlov\u00e1 370\/3, D\u016fm v Kisn\u011b<br \/>\n110 00 Praha 1 &#8211; Star\u00e9 M\u011bsto<br \/>\nCzech Republic<\/p>\n<p>Nadia Rovderov\u00e1: tel.: +420 777 748 433<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:nadia@artinbox.cz\" target=\"_blank\">nadia@artinbox.cz<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.artinbox.cz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4231,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4229"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4229"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4252,"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4229\/revisions\/4252"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artinbox.cz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
