Events and Exhibitions

Usual Suspect - Pasta Oner

Another exhibition in the Art Zone gallery space

Twenty-two paintings by the renowned Czech artist charting the work to date of one of the most prominent representatives of Czech pop art. Acrylic paintings and hanging canvases—the medium that is characteristic of Pasta Oner—captivate with their bold colors and sense of exaggeration.

You can also view video projections featuring highlights from his previous exhibitions. This offers a glimpse not only of the finished artworks but also of the behind-the-scenes process of their creation, from installation to opening nights.

Pasta Oner himself has a personal connection to our airport. „I’m one of many ‘airport kids.’ My mother worked as a flight attendant and my father as a baggage handler—it was actually on board a plane that my parents met. We lived together near the old airport in the accommodation facilities of the former Czechoslovak Airlines, and as a child I would often wait for one of my parents in the airport terminal. I have wonderful memories of that time. Anyone who has worked at or regularly spent time at an airport knows how deeply the environment and its atmosphere can get under your skin. That’s why I’m pleased that, years later, I’m present at the airport through my artwork.“

If you’re passing by Terminal 2, take the opportunity to stop in—this time, quality art is literally within arm’s reach.

The exhibition runs until the end of April 2026.
