Have it good, Markéta Filipová feat. Dana Balážová & Marie Štindlová
The title of the exhibition is at the same time a statement by Mr. Lasse Josefsson, who literally translates the Swedish salute (Ha det bra!) Into English. Speech does not just mean "Be good," say "Let be good everything what is important to you." It vague it, it's all we can imagine.
Have it good. Universal wish of everything and for all.
Have it good. A call to relax, carefree ride and lightness.
Have it good. Freely enjoy and face problems when they come.
Have it good. Do not pull your pants when the ford is still far away.
In my pictures, I return to my Swedish stays, interconnecting individual elements that I still return to - the lake, the forest, the water, the moon - all these are the symbols of loneliness or solitude experienced in such a vast landscape. The endless water surface of one of ninety thousand lakes, a boulder covered by glacial force at the time of the last glacial, a thousand-year-old spruce at the foot of a bare rocky mountain. I formally detract from the somewhat gloomy and serious sense of loneliness in the paintings and, with bright shades, I rewrite symbols into lightened color compositions that tell of my enthusiasm for life. Lasse every evening at 8 o'clock phones me and he says "Have it good!", That's right, I'm alone in the middle of wilderness, but it's good!
