During the workshop, we will be inspired by the work of the artist František Bílek (1872–1941) – sculptor, graphic artist, illustrator, creator of applied art and partly also an architect, who combined elements of Art Nouveau, Symbolism, Decadence and Expressionism in his work. Through drawings and collages, we will apply symbols and natural motifs appearing in his work in combination with his original rendering of typeface, with an overlap into artistic experimentation. Within the artistic creation, we will also focus on the possibilities of artistic processing of a classic artifact – a book. The main source of inspiration will be the creation of books, the distinctive typeface and graphic art of František Bílek. During the workshop, participants will get acquainted with the unique environment of Villa Bílek in the Hradčany district and the exhibition dedicated to the work of this visionary, mystic, esoteric, religious thinker and, above all, artist.
