The Third Landscape presents a new exhibition project by Vladimír Houdek, whose painting has long cultivated a dialogue with the history of modern art. The point of departure for the exhibited body of work is Caspar David Friedrich's The Chasseur in the Forest (1814), which Houdek interprets as an image of human existence within the landscape—a space where the natural order intertwines with uncertainty, memory, and transformation.
The exhibited series approaches painting as an open-ended process in which individual works do not emerge as isolated pieces but as part of a continuous search. Colour, composition, and spatial structure create an environment that does not lead the viewer toward a single interpretation but instead invites them to slow down, focus, and engage with the image in a new way.
The exhibition raises questions about humanity's relationship to landscape, time, and one's own place within a constantly changing world, presenting painting as a space of quiet yet profound experience.
