The interface between day and night accompanies us throughout our lives. Encountering an image often evokes a physical reaction in us, which is a manifestation of the artist's point of view. Adopting the perspective of the artist's point of view is then a task for curators and art perceivers. Image can thus help us to model the world when even the gallery space becomes an image. We understand the theme of Dream on as presenting a dreamscape that opens up in the time between day and night, or becoming present, when we can fully experience a given moment and place and opening to the inner worlds.
These inner worlds are opened to us by the exhibiting artists. Drawing provides space where you can slow down. Being an intimate gesture, drawing is perceived by many artists as the most direct medium for expressing experiences with a specific sense of sensitivity.
Jan Pfeiffer’s artwork is linked by morphology. The transience is present in the series of drawings made by the paintbrush and performance by graphite dust technique. His work indicates the transformation, dynamic and destruction following after everyday decisions based on relational situations.
Veronika Holcová's artwork is a combination of landscape and figurative motifs. She presents us with dreamy landscapes that open up to us at the time between day and night or by being present. In Veronika Holcova's artwork, we can sail through the inner landscapes of the soul.
Dorota Sadovská is consciously hacking away the form of the hung picture and expanding into space. She explores the limits of the picture as a determination of the viewer’s position, to the point of conscious dematerialisation. She delights ingetting a game of opposites going and sliding upon the boundaries of media and of themes (traditional and progressively conceived). Her work is targeted at the skin, which she easily converts into lines, exploring the limits of inside and out, the positions of I and we, the subject and the object
