Visual artist and sculptor Martin Káňa is undertaking a residency at Artport in Tel Aviv.
Martin Káňa lives and works in Prague, Czech republic. Martin Káňa’s work and artistic practice encompasses a wide range of forms, from classic drawings to sculptures, objects, paintings, assemblages, and installations. He has long been fascinated by geopolitical themes which he comments on in his works with visual, often pop exaggeration and a critical message.
Martin Káňa’s range of interest is thematically vast, yet the aviation, military arsenal, super-humans or cyborgs, mass-controlled society, historical events and memories of the future dominate the run. His Creation is a carefully circumscribed territory which declares the author’s ability to undermine established considerations about historical and contemporary geopolitical systems and the possibilities of both clash and the end of civilization.
Artport
Artport is a home for the art community and aspires to be a location for experiments, inspiration, communal learning and unexpected connections. The artists in the program are invited to work in an open and supportive environment. Artport’s gallery encourages artistic inquiry, critical thinking and stretches the definitions of art. Artport is a meeting place, and invites artists and curators to take part in activities in ways that will enrich their practice as well as the local art scene.
