The retrospective exhibition of Milan Bočkay (born 1946) shows the artworks of the creator of the programme of analytical painting based on the principle of trompe-l’oeil. The title of the exhibition paraphrases Horace’s statement and refers to Bočkay’s preference for visualising paradoxes. The focus of his artistic concept lies in the age-old question of art and illusion, reality and fiction. What is painted and what is real? Where does the border between delusion and illusion lie? These questions are resolved in an elaborate, almost old masters’ technique, however, he explores newly defined artistic questions: relations between painting and drawing, surface and space, illusion and illusion’s illusion. Nevertheless, multiple illusions of spatial planes and basic means of expression lead the painter to a more general reflection upon the spiritual essence of the painting medium.
