\nFREE GUIDED TOURS in Czech Language \nThe Galerie Zden\u011bk Sklená\u0159 Special Edition of Original Prints, published under the title 27 Lines is dedicated to the most important artists of the times they live in. \nThe path an artist chooses knows no shortcuts. It is fate. For me, art is something like a religion. I do not even believe in anything else. Wang Guangyi (born in 1957) is a contemporary Chinese artist, and one of the leaders of the new art movement that appeared on the Chinese scene after 1989. His series of paintings entitled Great Criticism, ranked as one of the best-known phenomena of present-day Chinese art, interlinks Chinese Petr Volf's publication, covering the story behind the birth of these unique prints, will be published during the course of the exhibition. The publication includes the production of a documentary film directed by Martin Dostál, presenting an eyewitness account made in the immediate presence of this Chinese master.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11130,"template":"","class_list":["post-13172","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriesklenar.devwp.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/13172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriesklenar.devwp.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriesklenar.devwp.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galeriesklenar.devwp.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriesklenar.devwp.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nand Western symbols. The artist is of the opinion that both political and commercial propaganda are forms of brainwashing.
\nIn 2007, he stopped working on his Great Criticism series of paintings, because he felt his international success could compromise the original meaning of these artworks.<\/p>\n
