Lukáš Machalický
Lukáš Machalický’s exhibited works have a formal and architectural purity that seems to preclude spontaneity or elements of chance. Deviations, volatility, ambiguity and system failure all play a key role in his art.
Lukáš Machalický (born 1984) graduated from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague in 2009. In 2008, he studied at the Berlin University of the Arts. In 2011, he founded Galerie SPZ with Robert Šalanda, with whom he also leads the painting studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Machalický has taken part in residencies in Krakow, 2016; Bratislava, 2014; and Florence 2012. He has had solo shows at several galleries in Prague including Berlínskej Model, 2015; 35 M2, 2014; Die Aktualität des Schönen, 2013; Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporanea, Rome, 2011; and MeetFactory, 2009.
