The exhibition From the Mist, which brings together artists Petr Nikl and Marianna Stránská, invites visitors on a journey between reality and dream, the tangible and the elusive. Through watercolor, drawings, and performative elements, the two authors unfold a shared story in which images, memories, and visions are born from the indistinct. The pieces, selected by the curators Radek Wohlmuth and Petra Hledík Jechová, create and interwoven space that transforms along with the viewer’s imagination. Step into a world where mist becomes both an image and a metaphor!
The exhibit will run from July 10 through October 19, 2025.
