Jiří Kolář's mallet is perhaps the guide of a cook, perhaps a tribute to craftsmanship. It can also be a complete recipe with everything you need. Tribute to Van Gogh also comes from the same year, which also uses kitchen utensils and is artistically solved in a similar way. He transformed from a poet into an artist, gave the word a three-dimensional form, turned everyday objects into a poem. Those who muster up the courage to defy the common belief that we should view artworks from a respectful distance will be presented with Kolář's signature work in a combination of several of his techniques. The object is processed using the image chiasmage technique, the creator of which is Jiří Kolář.
