Nové Mosty film by Adam Felix

‘Our artists make work across many contemporary art platforms. These include printmaking in all its existing and newly emerging forms, gestural, expressive and intensely saturated painting and construction across all manner of materials, narratives and scales, through to photography, performance and installation.

These two small countries with similar drives for individual identity and creative recognition have much in common despite our differing artistic traditions and expertise. Slovakia with such a rich heritage in many aspects of printmaking from velvety mezzotints to contemporary digital processes and lithography in tandem with Scotland with its rich history of painting, sculpture and installation.’
