Why KunstBühne exists

Art is not a byproduct, but a dialogue between material, space, and viewer. Our project arose from the conviction that visual design needs its own, unadulterated place – far from market pressure and short-lived trends.

Craft before Hype Every work begins with a precise technique: acrylic on canvas, ink on paper, or digital vector reduction. The method determines the result, not the other way around.

Room for Experiments We promote series that are allowed to fail. Exhibitions like "Material Stories" show that collages made from found objects and acrylic develop their own visual language – without compromising on marketability.

Direct Encounter Instead of virtual galleries, we focus on physical exhibitions in changing spaces. The viewer should see the surface of an image, feel the brush structure, perceive the smell of paint.

Long-term Support Collectors and interested parties receive not only a work, but insight into the creative process. Sketches, discarded drafts, and studio conversations are part of the offering – transparency instead of sales rhetoric.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about exhibitions, prints, and visits – short and clear.

Can I buy a work directly from you?
Yes, many original works and limited edition prints are available through the gallery. Send me an email with the title of the work, and I will let you know the availability and shipping options.
How often do you exhibit new works?
The main exhibition changes approximately every three months. In addition, there are smaller series and special presentations, which I announce on the homepage. A newsletter is in the works.
Can I visit the gallery without an appointment?
The exhibition space is open by appointment. Just give me a quick call or send a message – a visit can usually be arranged within two working days.
Do you also offer illustrations for book projects?
Yes, commissioned work for publishers and authors is a regular part of my practice. I create vector graphics, vignettes, and full-page drawings. An initial consultation is non-binding.
How much does a signed art print cost?
Prices for prints vary depending on the edition, paper quality, and format. They generally range between 45 and 120 euros. Send me the desired title, and I will send you the details.
How long does it take to prepare an exhibition?
From the initial concept to the opening, it usually takes three to five months. The duration depends heavily on the scope of the new works and the spatial installation.

Positioning

ArtStage – Studio for Modern Art and Illustration

I am Jaroslav Nahodil, visual artist and illustrator. My studio in Saarbrücken is a place for expressive painting, reduced graphics, and experimental collages. I work for galleries, publishers, and private collectors who value craftsmanship depth and visual clarity. My tone is direct, factual, and curious – without exaggerated promises.
🎨

Expressive Painting

Large-format acrylic works that focus on urban dynamics and color intensity. Each canvas is created in multiple layers – from the first gesture to the final correction.

Series "Color Explosion" · 12 works · 2023–2024
✏️

Reduced Illustration

Minimalist vector graphics and line drawings for book projects and editorial design. I translate complex motifs into clear, geometric forms.

Book series "City Stories" · 24 illustrations
🧩

Mixed-Media Collages

Found objects, newspaper, and fabric scraps meet acrylic paint. The collages emerge from the dialogue between tactile material and painterly surface.
