Jeff Beer (*1952) – Mysteries of Love
Galerie Marienbad is located within the historic setting of the renowned colonnade in Mariánské Lázně. The particular appeal of this location lies in the dialogue between 19th-century architecture and contemporary art.
The gallery’s programme focuses on contemporary visual art with an international outlook.
On the first floor of the colonnade, visitors will discover a newly restored exhibition space featuring striking 1970s architecture. With an exhibition area of 250 m², it provides a distinctive setting in which to experience art.
The gallery also includes a screening room where visitors can watch a film about the life and work of the featured artist. In the Art Cabinet, we present works by several contemporary artists and designers.
The sculpture Mysteries of Love by German artist Jeff Beer stands directly outside the gallery entrance, symbolically inviting visitors in and welcoming them to the gallery.

PETR MALINA: PAINTINGS

Petr Malina is a realist painter whose distinctive, flat painterly style has remained remarkably consistent. His work does not tend toward dramatic shifts. He stays true to both his form of expression and, for the most part, to his chosen subjects. Through his clear and accessible view of the world around him, he appeals to a wide audience both at home and abroad.

Malina paints in thematic cycles and places strong emphasis on the colouristic treatment of his paintings. His palette tends toward restrained, earthy and unobtrusive tones. The human figure is a dominant subject in his work, often set within the environment of the city or placed in the calming surroundings of nature.

He is also fascinated by architecture, especially motifs of buildings, rooftops and courtyards, through which he evokes a sense of nostalgia for lost or fleeting time. He often places himself in the role of viewer and observer. At times, this can create a feeling of anonymity. His themes are often only suggested, allowing viewers to complete the story through their own interpretation, imagination or fantasy.

The exhibition also includes a conversation between the artist and art historian Petr Vaňous. The opening was accompanied by musical improvisations by pianist Jeff Beer, created in direct dialogue with the exhibited works. The encounter between image, word and music formed a unique and living whole.

Antonín Střížek: Everyday Celebrations

The exhibition Everyday Celebrations presents Antonín Střížek as an attentive observer of scenes that are often utterly ordinary, yet at the same time possess a poetry of their own. Known for his idyllic landscapes and urban still lifes, the painter and photographer creates images imbued with a subtle sense of reverie and nostalgia. This almost theatrical quality also emerges, with a touch of magic, in his latest series of Bauhaus paintings, which develops his earlier explorations of geometric forms. This time, however, he introduces a narrative element. The series was inspired by the Triadic Ballet, the celebrated avant-garde dance work created in 1916 by German artist, choreographer and Bauhaus figure Oskar Schlemmer.
Antonín Střížek was born in Rumburk and spent his childhood in Ostrava-Poruba. He studied at the Secondary School of Applied Arts in Prague and, from 1983 to 1988, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where he later headed Painting Studio III for five years. Today, he lives and works in Prague and Milovice. Over the course of his career, he has held dozens of solo exhibitions in the Czech Republic and abroad, and his work is represented in the collection of the National Gallery Prague as well as in other major international collections.
