The Johann Gallery will exhibit his paintings by Liberec artist Marek Lavko, who focuses mainly on portraits, which he creates using a unique technique of layering by pouring, where paint is poured onto a horizontally laid canvas until the desired shape is achieved. Among the sports stars depicted are, for example, tennis player Rafael Nadal or domestic skier and coach Lucie Pešánová Hrstková. The artist Ivana Štenclová will attract art lovers with a new rendition of the gymnastics icon Věra Čáslavská under the title "Myself...". The portrait of Věra Čáslavská is composed of small figures of practising figures, which are extracted from the gymnastic elements of Věra herself. The athlete's face then forms the essence of her professional life, reflecting the passion, tenacity, courage and incredible hard work she put into her spectacular performances every day. Next to her picture, there will be a trophy of the Beam of Courage and Hope Award of Věra Čáslavská, from the Lasvit workshop and the Czech Mint, designed by Maxim Velčovský. Fans of sports films will be attracted by an exhibition of posters of films that have been awarded the American Oscar.
