Jiri Georg Dokoupil. Venetian Bubbles

Published on the occasion of the exhibition in Venice, Venetian Bubbles inaugurates a new phase of the versatile and experimental artistic practice of the globally acclaimed artist Jiri Georg Dokoupil: the evolution of the artist’s renowned Soap Bubble Paintings into three dimentional forms. Accompanied by an essay by Christian Dominguez and an introduction by Reiner Opoku, the curator of the exhibition, the catalogue presents Dokoupil’s large-scale sculptural works in glass, several large-scale paintings, and a series of works on paper. These new works reflect the artist’s liberated exploration of materials and techniques, revealing new approaches to painting and glassmaking with freedom, play and humour, while capturing the ephemerality of existence.
