The exhibition "In the Beginning Was Fire" is the premiere solo presentation of Slovak painter Adam Šakový in Prague.
The exhibition "In the Beginning, There Was Fire" is organized by the new SPOT Gallery in Prague's Vinohrady from February 25 to March 30. It was opened last September by two enthusiastic gallery owners, Nikola Korčáková and Petr Matoušek. Now, painter Adam Šakový will present his work at SPOT for his first solo exhibition in the Czech Republic. The thirty-seven-year-old Slovak artist will showcase his captivating hyperrealistic paintings complemented by conceptually oriented objects. Most of the works were created by Šakový specifically for this exhibition, so visitors will see them for the first time. The common theme of his works is fire – a fascinating element capable of igniting, warming, and scorching. The curator of the exhibition is Michal Stolárik.
