Jiří Sozanský: Skelets

10. 6. - 19. 9. 2010

"Jiří Sozanský‘s art is fully in agreement with his time. He made his entry as an artist in the mid-

1970s, in a period of culminating normalization and repression of artists' freedom. From the very

beginning with his art he vented his rejection of all forms of violence, arbitrariness and ideological

dictates, which encroach on human rights and human dignity.

A non-conformist artist, he is known for his clear-cut ideas and attitudes, which he vents in large

multi-media projects, always connected with a specific place. Sozanský‘s activities in unusual

places enlivened the arts scene in the 1970s. He addressed the "normalizing" society, regardless of

considerable personal hazards.
