Illustration exhibition by Jiří Slíva

---

The exhibited collection focuses on three thematic areas which Jiří Slíva has repeatedly dealt with. The first of these involves renowned persons from the cultural and scientific world. Slíva's favourites include Franz Kafka, Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud and this time an originally conceived Holy Trinity (chosen, amongst other things, as the leitmotif of the entire exhibition). Another major theme for Jiří Slíva consists of jazz and jazz musicians, whom he has admired for years, and finally jazz clubs which he has visited around the world (the author is actually an active guitarist in the band Grafičanka made up of various graphic artists). Jiří Slíva is also an aficionado of both wine and coffee, this being testified to by the third and most numerous collection of prints on the theme of cafés.
