From 12 April 2024, Levoca City Gallery presents the work of Rudolf Sikora, who co-founded the conceptual stream of visual art in Slovakia. The exhibition Third-Class Civilization will present the contemporary work of the artist, including his early works on the theme of ecology and civilization.
Sikora asks existential questions: will there still be nature? will civilization still exist?
Prof. akad. mal. Rudolf Sikora (* 17 April 1946, Žilina) is a Slovak painter, draughtsman, graphic artist, photographer, sculptor and former university lecturer. He is one of the main characters of contemporary conceptual art in Slovakia and one of the most important figures of 20th century Czech and Slovak visual art. He was active in the unofficial - alternative art scene during normalisation. He taught at several universities and was one of the initiators of the founding of the Public Against Violence. In 2016, he was awarded the Pribina Cross of the First Class.
The exhibition will run until 1 June 2024.
