Pale Horse Presents Dobre Den – Selected Works of Ales “BASK” Hostomsky

Locally-based, yet internationally recognized, BASK’ work has been showcased in museums, featured in galleries and thoughtfully placed on street corners throughout the country over the last decade. Best known for his grand collaborations with artists like Tes One, Derek Hess and Sarah Gail Hutcherson, Dobre Den (“good day” in Czech) showcases a collection of BASK’ selected works created within the past year and brand new installations made just for this show.

In this exhibit, this Czech-born, American vandal uses mixed media to present politically motivated, “anti-iconic” characters and themes influenced by early communist propaganda (seen as a child in Czechoslovakia) and corporate advertising that plagues our American landscape. Scavenged from lawns and alleyways, discarded panels and walls are given new life to tell a story about pop culture’s new conspiracies and contradictions to expose the real messages in our mass media.

OPENING RECEPTION: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13TH FROM 8PM – 11PM

On display until December 20th – Monday through Saturday from noon – 6PM.
