It is a joint project of Filip and Lukáš Houdek.

The ALL SAINT exhibition brings a unique perspective on the combination of sport, technology and fine art. The artistic duo Filip and Lukáš Houdek present a set of glass objects and paintings that enter into a dialogue with the world of cycling and motorsport. The works work with authentic components - from handlebars to rims to turbos - and transform them into visually powerful symbols.

Inspiration comes from ancient sacred art, particularly Byzantine icons, which previously conveyed a spiritual experience. Instead of holy figures, however, today we are faced with technical artefacts - objects that are transformed into modern icons through artistic language and gilding.

"We have come to see technical objects as new icons - with their own aura, story and ability to transcend ordinary meaning. Things we once only dreamed of have been transformed into the holy artifacts of our generation."

- Filip Houdek

The exhibition connects the world of the spiritual and the machine, precision and emotion, past and present. It is a tribute to design, mechanics and man's passionate relationship with the world of speed.

The exhibition is curated by Paulina Skavova.
