Vladimír Houdek (*1984) is one of the most prominent Czech painters. He studied at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts in the studio of Vladimír Skrepl. He presented his work at separate and group exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the Czech Republic and abroad - especially in the German and Austrian environment, but also in New York, Budapest or Sofia. In 2010 he became a laureate of the critics' prize for young painting, two years later the laureate of the Jindřich Chalupecký Award. His work is represented in a number of public and private collections, from the National Gallery in Prague to private collections in Washington or Argentina.
