Zen master Oleg Šuk was an extremely talented, hardworking and versatile person, but until now almost no one knew anything about him as an abstract painter.
All his life he was searching for answers to deeper questions. He painted question marks or basic geometric shapes that tried to answer the question of the meaning of human life.

The exhibition MAN, HOUSE AND SHIP is the first selected retrospective exhibition of Oleg Šuk's post-minimalist paintings from the last ten years, including the last series he made in the hospital shortly before his death. Many of the paintings have never been exhibited or have not had time to be exhibited, others have been presented in scattered solo exhibitions in various locations without additional contextualization.

The architecture of the exhibition works with the same morphology used by the artist in his paintings.
The supporting elements of the design are:
* A white cube with the exhibited works and a white floor as a filter through which every visitor must pass
*On the floor, a line symbolically indicates the perimeter of the ship - a motif that Oleg Šuk was fond of painting
*Gilded arches, another filter, symbol of the material world and a direct reference to the work on display
*White curtains with cotton velvet, a visual and sound barrier separating the viewer from the real world

The result is a very simple space devoid of unnecessary details. The exhibition thus resembles a "white cube" space, i.e. the space of a white "ideal" gallery cube, which is related to the curatorial intention to establish Oleg Shuko as a contemporary visual artist. At the same time, however, this literally ascetic space allows for one more, but essential thing - to concentrate on the works undisturbed.
