For three years, the Elsi and František Kyncl Exhibitions Dialogue of Forces has been waiting for a “new life.” In the meantime Pavel Vašíček, who organized the exhibit in the Topič Salon, has passed away. It was with childlike astonishment that he observed these hanging spatial structures of Kyncl, as they quivered and rotated in the air (therefore, we photographed them for you from all angles). In the meantime, Elsi Kyncl’s eyesight became weaker, but the ability of her inner vision of the world and of her art in its special colorfulness and variety of forms down to the smallest detail remained just as strong as her mind: open and cheerful. Meanwhile, we also mark František Kyncl’s eightieth birthday, which he did not live to see.

Kyncl's subtle structures uncover the geometric power of the foundation and essence of the universe. František was not a mathematician. Mathematics “was in him” – in the same way that bees intuitively build their honeycombs, he glued together bamboo skewers with epoxy, and they grew elegantly like trees, both symmetrical and crooked, under the influence of the breath of the landscape. (Imagine his exhibition, for example, in a garden!) Alongside the living structures of František, Elsi exhibits her own cycle entitled Dance of Death or Totentanz. The black lines ripple right next to the white ones, which takes one’s breath away.
