Jan Kalab ๐จ๐ฟ New Print Release โข Sculpture โข Art For Sale, by Shoot Again on Apr 24, 2015 14:20:56 GMT 1, I initially discovered that artist via his Instagram (@jankalab)
iconosquare.com/jankalab
Pretty much liked everything I saw right away ;-) Then got a chance to get to know him better reading his interview in GraffitiArt Magazine, he made the cover of #24, January 2015, which I found very clever...
www.graffitiartmagazine.com/index.php?post/Graffiti-Art-24%3A-en-kiosques-%21
His 1st Solo Show in Germany (curated by Partisan Creative) was sold out and I heard he just did really well again @ Art Expo NY so no doubt his artworks doesn't just appeal to me ;-)
www.jankalab.com/selected-works/
I've been told (TBC) he will have his 1st Solo Show in London next October @ Lollipop Galley (on Commercial Street) where the space is quite something which should suits his artworks well... watch this space !

On the 29th of June, Jan Kalab (featured) opened his ninth solo show at the Villa Pelle in Prague, showing pieces created exclusively for this event. After introducing his art at fairs worldwide, this was an opportunity to put his work on display in his homeland.
The Czech artist uses a lot of geometry elements and pure, bright colors in creating his pieces, which often blur the distinction between art and design. His minimalist visual language has been affected by his graffiti work, when minimalism was a necessity. That combined with the study at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, resulted in geo-based works that play with the idea of the organic and artificial. Along with large scale paintings that are deal with the idea of the circle as a perfect but complex shape, he also created a sculptural piece titled Comsos. In the same way his paintings have a sense of depth and layering, he managed to achieve a similar effect with this interesting 3D object. While very broad in the color palette he is using, Kalabโs imagery or the shapes he is working with have been undergoing a certain minimization. Painting on both square and custom shaped round canvases, the works are a certain tribute to the circle as the main and basic shape. Extra will stay on view at this unique location until the 6th September so make sure you check it out if visiting Czech capital this summer.

Jan Kalab ๐จ๐ฟ New Print Release โข Sculpture โข Art For Sale, by 11 on Oct 10, 2015 0:51:53 GMT 1, I accidentally stumbled into the opening last night and it was a great show. I really enjoyed the work and it was so well executed. Very clean and crisp and amazing shading and colour giving some real depth to the pieces. Nicely laid out with a very minimalist look and feel, wish I'd hung around longer but wanted to get along to the Eine show too but this was definitely my choice of the evening
I even picked up a rather nice show catalogue - pretty much a small paperback book  - but left it in the bloody pub afterwards 
Loads of pics and I enjoyed it so much think i'll unload them all....

On a more serious note, were there any print editions?

She had seen the Jan Kalab pics and really liked them so went back to Lollipop. Opening nights on the whole are a very different beast with lots of socialising and boozing so it was nice to walk around in tranquility (and sober) to take it all in, in relative privacy....
So we had some fun too
