PASS:ON
I feature in a short film from 2009 called Pass:on, by Pablo Magee, in which four visual Artist were given little over two min and 8x1.5m fresco to create an image of our passion. Each of the visual Artists was twinned with a musician, who did the similar thing. I was put together with BAFTA winning composer John Altman.

Recycling Art Symposium, Hartberg
I have attended the International Recycling Art Symposium in Austria, Hartberg, from 2nd to 10th November. The purpose of this symposium was to develop the concepts for upcoming Recycling Art Festival. Artists from Europe created various concepts, where the impact was put on sourcing the materials locally, possibly recycled or environmentally friendly. Part of our eco-related research was a meeting with Austrian Director Werner Boote to discuss issues raised in his new film Plastic Planet. The exhibition followed in the Museum of Hartberg, for which I created a set of proposals, with a touch of humour. “Food Trays”, “Poo Trays” and an “Animal” which is responsible to eat the food and do the rest too. All materials I used were found in the Ecopark in Hartberg, so I guess carbon-neutral art! Click here and here to see images of my models and find out more about my participation.

Czechin’ London documentary, Riverside Studios, London
Six amazing creative Czechs and I appeared on a big cinema screen. The screening of Czechin’ London documentary (28min) took place during the New Czech Film Festival on 14th November. The film was done by two talented Czechs, Tomas Dolezal and Marta Svobodova, and organized by Dynama OS. It tells seven stories of young people living in London and planning their future. It was a huge pleasure to meet such a nice bunch of people during this project! Click here for more information.

O.S. Dynama film
Oh my gosh… I had a filming crew from O.S. Dynama visiting my studio. They have put together a team of young people that moved from Czech Republic and Slovakia to London and would like to share their stories about their experiences living in England. A short film is being produced, followed by a talk during the Czech Film Festival in Barbican, which will take place in mid November this year. I hope to work with them again.

Hurrah, back to painting!
I’ve nearly finished my new painting New Golden Seed. This time I’ve chosen to use a wooden board, and cut it to 1.2m circle. I tried to add a 3D feel to my painting by using various fibres, white synthetic hair and also human hair. The golden sheen is slightly showing from under layers, and white spots with red dots are full of contrast. You can see the painting and read how it has been progressing by visiting my blog or click here to see it in my portfolio.

I produced a piece of wall art, Dust and Hair Painting and an Installation with Brushes. To see the Hair and Dust Painting click here for my portfolio, or here to view it in my blog.

Back from Linz!
I've just returned from EU–Art–Network symposium, Linz 09 where I produced two sculptures over 10 days. It was a very intense and exciting experience to work towards the deadline of the opening of the exhibition in Traun City Gallery, just outside Linz. The turnout for the private view surpassed all expectations and one of my sculptures (Cocoon 2) was sold, while the other will be part of the exhibition touring Europe for two years (next stop: Venice!). It was great to meet and work alongside so many excellent European artists and I hope to have the possibility of participating again next year! See my Portfolio and Links pages for photos and more details.
