The airport will exceptionally provide access to Sýkora's paintings in the architecture

Prague - Supporters of the painter Zdeněk Sýkora's work will be able to view one of his largest realizations, which is usually not accessible to the public, for two days in April. Since 2005, Sýkora's large mural has adorned the building of Air Traffic Control in Jenč near Prague. The company has prepared two tours, the first will be on April 15 at 5:00 PM, the second on April 16 at 3:00 PM.
    With the opening of its headquarters, Air Traffic Control is joining the current author's exhibition in the Gallery of the Capital City of Prague, informed the gallery’s spokesperson Michaela Moučková. The retrospective exhibition in the Municipal Library is being held for this year’s 90th birthday of one of the most recognized contemporary Czech painters.
    People could only see the two large line paintings in Jenč in the fall of 2005 when the building was put into operation. The project for the two paintings that frame the entrance to the building was created by Sýkora together with his wife Lenka. The work was carried out by students of the Academy of Art, Architecture and Design.
    Even during the planned tours, the number of visitors will be limited for safety reasons, so participation must be reserved in advance at the address pr@ghmp.cz. Interested parties can reach the building of Air Traffic Control from the final metro station B Zličín by bus 306 to the final stop Jeneč, broadcast center. The journey takes approximately 30 minutes. More information about the building, the exhibition, and the painter can be found at www.rlp.cz, www.ghmp.cz, and www.zdeneksykora.cz.
    Zdeněk Sýkora started as a landscape painter but transitioned from the cubist and surrealist period to geometric abstraction. He created his own method of controlled randomness - his colored lines are generated by a computer that produces a numerical series determining the direction, width, and color of the painted lines.
    He applied his method not only in classical murals but also in monumental realizations in architecture. His work is part of many public and private collections both in the country and abroad. As one of the few Czech artists, he is represented in the permanent collection of the Paris Centre Pompidou - his painting Line No. 24 - The Last Judgment, which the museum has now lent for the Prague exhibition, hangs there. The exhibition presents Sýkora's work over the last fifty years in its entirety and strives to clarify its foundations, intentions, and creative processes to visitors.
