Radka Bodzewicz, Ondřej Navrátil & Sota Sakuma

In our first participation in the Art Cologne Palma, Bold Gallery presents new works by Radka Bodzewicz, Ondřej Navrátil, and Sota Sakuma.

Radka  Bodzewicz

Radka Bodzewicz (b. 1991) is a Czech painter whose work moves between figurative abstraction and myth-inspired visual narratives. In 2025, her practice has been presented internationally at contemporary art fairs Vienna Contemporary and Art Cologne, and featured in institutional group exhibitions such as Muzeum Kampa in Prague. In 2026, Bodzewicz is preparing a major solo exhibition at DOX Centre for Contemporary Art. of multiple publications and special projects, where she integrates augmented reality. Her work is represented in private collections in the Czech Republic and abroad as well as public collections such as the Klatovy–Klenová Gallery or EPO1 – Centre for Contemporary Art.

Sota Sakuma

Sota Sakuma (b. 1977, Japan) is a Prague-based multidisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, and installation. His practice draws on Japanese folklore, European surrealism, and Czech puppet traditions, resulting in intricately crafted, narrative-driven worlds populated by hybrid and mythic figures. Sakuma’s work has been exhibited in Japan and across Europe, including an ongoing presentation by Jonathan Kugel within his Cabinet de Curiosités. His practice is distinguished by material precision, poetic symbolism, and a sustained engagement with nature, memory, and myth as living structures.

Ondřej Navrátil

Ondřej Navrátil (b. 1998) is a Czech sculptor whose practice explores myth-making, fictional archaeology, and the narrative potential of material. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, where his work received sustained recognition for its conceptual clarity and material sophistication. His sculptural work carries elements of storytelling, and he often refers to his pieces as sculptural comics. Navrátil is currently developing his practice within an international context and is scheduled for a duo exhibition at Bold Gallery in September 2026, positioning him as a distinctive emerging voice in contemporary sculptural practice.
