Art and Heritage in Central Europe

Check out the exhibitions available at the Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum (Bratislava) right now, until June 15th, 2025:

1. Adam Šakový‘s exhibition entitled “A zostal iba popol” (“And Only Ashes Remain”) a sequel of the exhibition “Na počiatku bol oheň” (“In the Beginning, There Was Fire”, Spot Gallery Prague, 2025), features a series of oil paintings and objects on which he has been systematically working since 2021. Thematically, he draws from the semantics of fire, opening up intimate and social themes, which he conveys with a universal visual language through metaphors, perso­nification, and symbolism: https://danubiana.sk/en/vystavy/a-zostal-iba-popol

2. Natália Šimonová (*1995, Žiar nad Hronom) – graduated from the Academy of Arts in Banská Bystrica in 2020 (Rastislav Podoba’s studio), where she is currently continuing her doctoral studies with Jiří David. Her exhibition is entitled “Grandstands, Fences, Antennas”: https://danubiana.sk/en/vystavy/tribuny-ploty-anteny

3. “Maťátko´s library – Illustrations, Books, and Stories”. Matúš Maťátko and book illustration are inseparable, like salt and the sea, wind and the mountains and black soil and fertile fields. His style has inspired linocut, comics and street art. At heart, he is a graphic artist, and his visual language is recognizable at first glance. As a result, Maťátko’s world is perceived by young and old. The exhibition is held in cooperation with the Town Library in Piešťany (curator: PhDr. Jakub Prokeš): https://danubiana.sk/en/vystavy/matatkova-kniznica
