Jakub Tomáš (*1982) is one of the artists of the younger middle generation who managed to establish themselves in the field of contemporary Czech painting, even though he remained faithful to his hometown. This is where the thematic focus of the exhibition comes from: the region, the city of Jihlava, the themes of housing estates. The artist himself grew up in the backdrop of the Březinky housing estate in Jihlava. Jakub Tomáš has been exhibiting independently in the Czech Republic since 2016 (Václav Špála Gallery, Vyšehrad Gallery, Nová galerie, GHMP / Dům u Zlatého prstenu, OFF / Format Brno,…) and has had exhbitions in Great Britain, Canada, Austria and Slovakia. OGV Jihlava presented his work at Galerie Alternativa (2008, open call) and curator Petr Kovář included him in the Běguni project (2017). We are glad that curator Radek Wohlmuth will take over the presentation of Jakub Tomáš's work in his hometown this time and strengthen the supra-regional significance of the project.
