One of the most demanded contemporary open -air players Tomáš Honz (*1989) characterizes adventure. He does not hesitate to travel far abroad, Taiwan, the Canary Islands of the Philippines, to Romania, Albania, Greece and Jordan, to climb in the mountains, paint inside the caves, create in bad weather, frost and rain or at night with a headlamp. However, it also often goes into nature more moderately in the footsteps of Czech landscape paints and still remains directly in cities, where it also paints exposed places (eg monuments and squares) without people. In addition to traditional themes, brownfields, ruins seek and generally close places with intense, often fleeting, atmosphere. In the studio, he focuses on fantasy images that have crystallized in cooperation with worldwide successful projects such as Magic The Gathering and Path of Exile.

In the Czech environment it has a stable base of private collectors, and it can also be found in the state collections of the Alšova South Bohemian Gallery or the Kutná Hora Gallery Felix Jenewein. He is one of the finalists of the prestigious Strabag Artward International (2021) and is the ART Prague laureate under 35 years (2020). Important exhibitions include, for example, an independent exhibition of prehistoric, fog, temples in the Rabas Gallery (2024) or collective projects of Vanitas in Prague's Dox (2020) and Dawn - Contemporary Landscape painting in the East Bohemian Gallery in Pardubice (2018). The first part of the studies was spent in the studio of prof. Jiří Lindovský (2009–2011) and the second part in the studio of prof. Michaela Rittstein (2012–2015) at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts.

Tomáš Honz for 100pcs

The evening above the mud is one of the logs in which Tomáš Honz devotes himself to the Czech landscape in the example of the famous Mařákův - Antonín Slavíček, Otakar Lebeda or Jaroslav Panuška. It goes to domestic forests, mountains and lowlands, and occasionally remains, among other things, in ponds, where it captures mainly strong light moments and mirroring the shore on the water surface. What is the landscape of Tomáš Honz? Natural and close to the viewer - it can be seen through his eyes. But even a little mysterious. The landscape comes to life especially in the early evening, when the contrasts are more enhanced, shadows more detailed and the world generally more colorful, even in the darkest nooks and shadows Tomáš Honz is not used by Černá. He paints either incomplete scenery - the region of the pond, the fragment of the rock, the boundary of the forest - as if one was in hiding and was close, or devoted himself to prospects. The scenery is gestic, in which the atmosphere takes precedence over detail. Movement is also important to him. If he wants to express it, he tends to draw a drawing that is strongly manifested in shaping trunks and branches, in rolling the water surface or wandering light. In the case of the pond displayed, however, such movement is not enough. It's a long evening of warm summer, so the drawing is missing. As if all movement ceased and the loneliness was transformed above the surface to stoic peace.
