Art Point
Chapel of St. Joseph
There is a reconstructed chapel of St. Joseph in the village of Slavětín, about 15 minutes from the EPO1 gallery. The dilapidated building was bought by the Kasper family, redesigned beyond recognition and now linked to the EPO1 gallery with regard to its interior and exterior design and furnishings.
The interior of the chapel is dominated by a modern altar decorated with floating wire sculptures by Veronika Psotková. The composition of statues depicts St. Joseph holding baby Jesus, surrounded by figures of angels. Another work of art, a steel sculpture with the motif of a Lily, which is an attribute of St. Joseph and whose author is sculptor Michal Gabriel, is on display next to the chapel in the also revitalised and well-maintained courtyard.
