Anna Hulačová and Zsófia Keresztes Exhibit Surrealist-Inspired Sculptures at Prague City Gallery

exhibition · 2026-04-20

At the Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace of the Prague City Gallery, the exhibition titled Éntomos showcases the works of Czech sculptor Anna Hulačová and Hungarian artist Zsófia Keresztes, alongside the influential Prague Surrealist František Janoušek. This exhibition, which runs from 21 November to 3 March, derives its name from meanings such as 'dissection,' 'insect,' or 'to offer as a sacrificial victim.' Both artists draw inspiration from Surrealism and Hieronymus Bosch's triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights, created between 1490 and 1500. Janoušek's illustrations for Maurice Maeterlinck's 1901 work Life of the Bee serve as a focal point, while Hulačová presents pieces like Portrait with an Ant (2017) and Ascension Mark I (2017). Keresztes's works, including The Safety of Distance (2018) and Altar (Sharing Our Final Belongings) (2018), delve into Anthropocene themes within Baroque settings.
