Profile

Jakub Sýkora

Jakub Sýkora (nar. 1984), absolvoval v l. 2006-2012 AVU v Praze (ateliér nových médií Veroniky Bromové a malířský ateliér prof. Jiřího Sopka). 

Jakub Sýkora prověřuje svou malbou rozhraní obrazové a grafické vizuality, včetně té navázané na informatiku a jazyk nových médií. Jeho díla často pracují se strukturálním uspořádáním obrazové plochy, v němž se uplatňuje opakování a variace zvolených znaků. Obrazy potom působí jako jakási kódovaná sdělení. Jako programované skladby, v nichž se ale často objevuje důležitá chybovost coby manifestace lidské přítomnosti. 

About the work

Jakub Sýkora for 100 pcs

The image Line Y, where "ypsilon" refers to the code for yellow (in the CMYK printing system), could also simply be called a yellow line. The image is built on a structure formed by a black grid, from which a yellow line protrudes, and the illusion of a shadow gives it a three-dimensional quality. The image is my tribute to minimalism and the structure from which the world is woven.

The yellow line is an abstract symbol that can be exchanged for many forms. A streak of light when a door is slightly opened to a dark room, the vertical line of a tree trunk illuminated by the sun, the edge of a table reflecting the light of a lamp... Likewise, the grid in the background can be a simplified model of a landscape, wire mesh, the structure of fabric, a spiderweb, an atomic lattice, or abstractly any principle of repetition. Combining these two meanings creates another infinity of variations.

And they can also simply be lines and planes, balanced into optimal harmony.
