PATRIK HABL (*1975) CHINESE LANDSCAPE I Starting price: 210 000 CZK (8 400 EUR) Hammer price: 210 000 CZK (8 400 EUR) Description dimensions: 370 x 212 cm (h x w) period: 2013 / Acrylic, oil and pigment on canvas, Signed on the reverse "Patrik Hábl" Chinese Landscape is one of Hábl's works on giant scrolls – vertical bands of calligraphic landscapes, which like most of Hábl's work came about through bold experimentation. Ha paints on various supports, applying the paint with a roller, letting it drip, then letting it dry in the sun or freeze. He also experiments with the content. He offers the viewer the chance to observe unclear, non-material contexts, to let the hidden speak. His painting becomes a mirror of the spirit. When he speaks about the landscape, nature and naturalness, he explains that the permanence of these phenomena go fundamentally beyond that of man. Man changes, digs up, and rearranges only the material surface of things, but the spirit remains unchanged. It is not man who establishes values and writes the laws of nature. Patrik Hábl is a contemporary Czech painter working with pictures and their installation in space. He has created a number of pieces of contemporary art for important historical buildings, including his "postal pictures" intervention in the Church of the Holy Saviour, an intervention in the permanent exhibition of medieval art at St. Agnes Convent, and an installation at the Prague National Gallery's Asian and Ancient Mediterranean Art exhibit. His solo exhibition at Dox Center for Contemporary Art, in which he transformed the Dox tower into a church, particularly enjoyed significant acclaim. In 2015 an expert committee selected him to participate in the Beijing International Art Biennale, and in the autumn he presented his work in Kyoto, Japan. In early 2016 he created a 15-meter long installation at the monastery church in Speinshart and an installation to reopen the permanent exhibition at Aleš South Bohemian Gallery. He currently teaches at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. His work has been awarded the Waldes Prize and Europol Art Award. He was nominated for the Top 10 People of the Year for the most important artistic achievement in 2013. He painting was created for Kinský Palace, National Gallery in Prague to reopen the permanent Asian exhibition in 2014, and it was also exhibited as a scroll: Pásma (Strips), 2015, Galerie Kotelna, Říčany; Kakejiku, 2016, Church of St. Anthony of Padua, Sokolov.
