We are pleased to present Lubomir Typlt, the Czech artist’s first solo show in Spain, “All Swings are taken” on view in Barcelona
from 19th September to 18th October 2026.
The exhibition brings together seventeen works created between 2020 and 2026, including seven large-scale oil paintings on canvas and ten tempera works on paper.
Children, adolescents and collective figures populate the exhibition, exploring themes of play, ritual, confrontation, vulnerability and group behaviour.
Saturated colour, expressive brushwork and compressed compositions define Typlt’s distinctive figurative language.
Prior to Barcelona, Typlt presented two solo shows in 2026: Great Panic at the DON Gallery, Tábor (29 March-13 June), followed by I Came Back, Though We Didn’t Miss Each Other at the Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum, Bratislava (7 June-30 August).
This uhibition entitled “All Swings are taken” continues Typlt’s exploration of figurative painting, bringing together a focused selection of recent works for his debut presentation in Spain.
The psychological tension between the individual and the collective has long been a defining theme in Typlt’s work. Born in 1975 in Nová Paka, Czech Republic, he studied illustration at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague before turning to painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno. He later studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Markus Lüpertz, Gerhard Merz and A.R. Penck, receiving the title of Meisterschüler in 2004. His artistic formation brings together Czech figurative traditions and German Neo-Expressionism, influences that continue to shape his practice today.
Alongside painting, Typlt also works across installation and music.
