MICHAELA ŠURANSKÁ & KRISTÍNA MIČOVÁ: Do You Think the Sun Is Yellow?
United through their long-standing friendship, the two artists also share a fascination with the mercurial nature of landscape, with their mutual inspirations intersecting in multimedia installations. While Mičová explores subjective experiences and the transience of the immediate moment through found objects and artistic or literary observations, Šuranská focuses on the liminal spaces between human occupation and nature across both time and space.

WORLD SYNTHESIS: At Right Angles
Artists: Janusz Jerzy Cywicki (PL), Terezija Fedorivna Čuvalova (UA), Orest Dubay, Vlado Eliáš, Eva Fišerová, Jozef Haščák, Rudolf Hofer, Ferdinand Katona, Richard Kitta, Otto Korkoš, Martin Kudla, Alexander Olszewski (PL), Štefan Oravec, Jose Picazo (ES), Viliam Pirchala, Peter Roller, Peter Rónai, Monika Vrancová, Jozef Sedlák, Rudolf Sikora, Simona Štulerová, Imre Bak (HU), Mark Starel (PL), Mar Vicente (ES), Markéta Varádiová (CZ) and others
The exhibition presents the work of more than twenty artists from the Gallery’s collection in dialogue with those of invited artists from Slovakia and abroad (SK, CZ, HU, ES, PL, UA). Ranging in date from the early 20th century to the present day, the works demonstrate the role which geometry has played in the search for compositional principles. The selected works in various media, including graphics, painting, objects and video art, reflect upon the tendencies of geometric abstraction as one of the most important aspects of fine art.

WORLD SYNTHESIS: Didactic Quadrilateral
Artists: Štefan Balázs, Mária Balážová, Pavol Rusko, Adam Szentpétery
The exhibition presents the work of four of Slovakia’s most prominent practitioners of geometric painting who have also nurtured successive generations of young artists over the course of their extensive teaching careers. Their artistic techniques differ in terms of inspiration and formal approaches, but their work reveals a sense of consistency in terms of the evolution of geometrical art.

JÁN POLOM: The Four Seasons
Held on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the artist’s birth, the exhibition interprets a series of unique drawings and watercolours by the painter and teacher drawn from the Gallery’s collection, focusing on the changing landscape over the course of the four seasons. Polom was a master of the watercolour technique; his works capture the subtle colour transitions, the dynamics of light, and the atmosphere of the natural world in all its mercurial forms with an inimitable lyricism and depth.
