Prague Galleries

I have spent few days in Prag recently and I have discovered some interesting art expressions there:

Alexandr Onishenko - New Impressionism


Onishenko is one of the most successful artists in the Czech Republic who born in Ukraine and began his career as one of the sellers alongside the Charles Bridge. He was discovered in the other countries too so he exhibited his paintings all over there. And after that he has opened his own gallery in Prag. The gallery is called Galerie Jakubská.

I was impressed by some of his pieces, but there is no one from my favorite pictures on the internet unfortunately. His paintings are peaceful and full of colour, he can catch the light and movings so that you can feel the wind blowing or hear the sea rustle.

There you can find some examples of his paintings in a book about him and on his pages.


D-ART Gallery

This gallery hosts especialy Russian painters. The first time when I walked round about this gallery I thought that it is some other Onishenko's gallery because the paintings outside were in the same style (impressionism) and topic (roofs of buildings). I was said that this Russian painter (whose name I don't remember) has cooperated with Onishenko. There were big autumn forest paintings with a life-giving sunlight and another moments from nature inside the gallery from the same autor. Such a pity I don't have 600 EUR left!

There was one another painter who took my attention - Sergey Yatnov.


He is 50, born in Russia and living in Prag for 17 years. His style is quite unusual and sometimes his pictures looks like from a Polock's successor. There are many artworks of this man on the internet so enjoy watching them here and here.


Galerie PERON


















This is a modern art gallery. It was a bit difficult to choose an artwork I like in this gallery. But I know that everything what is able to captivate you even in the negative way is art. Art is a way how to point to some problem and an oportunity to show your opinion. In PERON I have realized this strongly. I will remember a name Mžyk whose paintings were in a very characteristic style so that you can recognise them easily but I really don't like them.

Check the gallery stuff here.
