We invite you to the dernissage of the exhibition of lighting and other objects by Žanda Gebauer: Wander Light! 
which can be seen in our gallery from 15/12/2022 to 21/1/2023.

•  Dernissage will take place 21. 1. 2023 at 19:00

Žanda Gebauers' art exhibition was originally planned for August 2021, when we were preparing an exhibition in our gallery for his father's 80th birthday "Kurt Gebauer as you (probably) don't know him", which featured the artist's previously unpublished paintings created in the 1950s and 1970s and the latest canvas paintings. At the same time, Žanda celebrated his 50th birthday in December 2020, and we thought of making a double exhibition of double jubilee celebration of a father with his first-born son. However, Žanda Gebauer's work is so unique and distinctive, moreover, it is very different both in form and field, that we decided to organize a separate exhibition for him.

Žanda likes to remain rather incognito, you won't find out much about him anywhere, he prefers that his work is less talked about and the viewer absorbs the artist's light works directly, live. So we will only reveal that you have never seen a similar art exhibition in our gallery. It will not be about sculptures or paintings, but about lighting and other objects of various shapes and materials. It lighted up our gallery during the winter solstice and the darkest period of the year.

About the autor
Žanda Gebauer was born in 1970 in Prague. In the 1980s, he studied stonework and sculpture in Hořice. Finally, in the 1990s, he devoted himself to the study of historic preservation.
You can find his creations in many places not only in the Czech Republic, but also, for example, in Chamonix, France. Lighting objects and interior design elements can be found in places like the Prague club Futurum, the Minor theater, the restaurant "U Jagušky" at Palmovka or the Alfa Plzeň theater. Perhaps the best-known interior design with light objects can be found in the Lehká Hlava restaurant in Prague 1, Boršov, which has been transformed over the years.
