Term: February ’25 – May ’25
Štěpán Žůrek (*2003) comes from a small village on the edge of the Low Jeseník Mountains, but now lives in Brno, where he studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts, specifically in the Studio of drawing and printmaking. Their own work is an instinct that they use as a means to outline their own life and express their need to live and share. Most often he focuses on his own body and what it means for him to be a person who lives and is seen as a man.
Currently, his drawings and texts address the unwanted changes that come with male adolescence. Whether through the metaphor of the Werewolf, or images composed of tears and thinning hair – the emotions of mourning and freedom are paramount. It is important for him to offer and create an alternative narrative through his work to the current state of affairs, where most men weaponize and toxify their identity. In fact, masculinity is a tender and fragile thing for him and he believes that more men need to realize and admit that they could have it like that as well.
