Are you also thinking that you would paint something like that too? Aleš Novák gives you the opportunity. Whoever puts on a jacket with an eye-catching inscription becomes, for a moment, an artist. And maybe in that moment they discover that they actually just remain who they were until then, which is (just) themselves and themselves alone.

Novák creates installations from furniture and from his own more or less artistic artefacts in a way that blurs the lines between the artistic and the non-artistic, seeking his own unique and original statement specific to our cultural environment.
