Helen Tóth: The scent of soil under the broken trees smells comforting

We invite you to a new exhibition as part of the curatorial programme for emerging curators. In Čepan Gallery you will be able to visit the exhibition of the Slovak artist Helent Tóth.

Nature, forest, smell, relaxation, but also uniqueness, coexistence, preservation and protection – all this Helen Tóth captures in her canvases. The exhibition entitled The scent of soil under the broken trees smells comforting treats the theme of the conservation of forest habitats and reveals their specificity or interconnectedness. It pays tribute to the trees and plants that manage to survive in spite of adverse climatic conditions and harmful human activity.
