Jakub Janovský

Jakub Janovský (*1984) is a painter and draftsman, one of the prominent figures in contemporary Czech figurative painting. He graduated from the Drawing Studio of Professor Jitka Svobodová at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. He paints prefabricated housing estates, playgrounds, and the childhood games of the generation born at the end of the 20th century, while leaving his figures faceless. He has held solo exhibitions at GASK in Kutná Hora, the Aleš South Bohemian Gallery, and the Václav Špála Gallery, among others, and his work is represented in the collections of the National Gallery Prague.
