Smoker No.17 - ORIGINAL

Tomáš Jetela uses the motif of a cigarette to capture subtle grimaces and minor shifts in expression that lend the portrait character and personality. Smoker is a focused look at a face, where one small detail creates a vivid dynamic and an unexpected expression.

Oil and acrylic on canvas, 70 × 50 cm, 2023.

Profile

Tomáš Jetela

Tomáš Jetela (1986) absolvoval v l. 2005 - 2011 Akademii výtvarných umění v Praze (ateliér malířství u prof. Michaela Rittsteina, ateliér grafiky u Jiřího Lindovského). V roce 2008 získal ocenění Arte emocion a stipendium na Universidad Complutense de Madrid ve Španělsku. V roce 2013 se stal vítězem Ceny kritiky za mladou malbu. Malíř je fascinován tvářemi a gesty, rozpolcením a rozvětvením lidské mysli. Jeho malířský styl reflektuje velké mistry, jako je Goya nebo Schiele, ale zároveň vyniká svou autentickou syrovostí a expresí. Tomáš Jetela už 15 let aktivně vystavuje v prestižních galeriích ČR a v Evropě (Londýn, Paříž).

About the work

Tomáš Jetela for 100 pcs

"One of the themes that keeps "coming back" is the portrait with a cigarette. I have always been fascinated by the interaction between facial expression and the gesture of the hand/hands. With a smoker, it is an obvious opportunity to capture these "psychological moments." In this painting, we only see the "head without hands." The motif eventually transformed into just a depiction of the face, where the omnipresent cigarette conditions strange grimaces and nuances in the shifts of facial features, creating new relationships between them and thus disrupting the naturalness of the expression." - Tomáš Jetela
