Vladimir Skrepl for 100pcs

Vladimír Skrepl is known for his unmistakable painting manuscript. Already at the age of 80 he was part of the underground art scene and at the age of 90 his work was presented at a number of key exhibitions that formed post -revolutionary art. Since then he has been an unmistakable figure in Czech art. During his almost thirty -year pedagogical work at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts, many of the very successful artists and artists such as Eva Koťátková, Vladimír Houdek, or Josef Bolf went through his studio. His work goes all the way to the bones of the bones to reflect and examine how the surface has changed during this journey. Gestic, physical paintings with wild color layering depict mostly human or animal figures, sometimes even plants that seem to turn inside out - in the heart smooth skin, hair, or vegetable skin, and externally meat, muscles, bones, organs, eyeballs, roots, blood and sap. Some consider Skrepla images a bit of "creepy". Paradoxically, however, things such as beauty (in genuineness), even child immediacy, life in all its colors and desire (literally?), Can also be seen in them.

Vladimir Skrepl (1955) He studied art history and ethnography at the Faculty of Arts in Brno. In the 80s he worked as a curator in the Prague City Gallery. He holds Michal Ranný (2009) Award (2009) and the artist is awarded by Jiří Kovanda (2007). Since 1994 he has led the painting studio painting II. at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts. Skreplov's works have been presented to a number of key exhibitions in the Czech Republic and abroad since the 90s.

Vladimir Skrepl and his retinal mosaic

For the 100pcs platform we chose one of Vladimir's latest paintings, from the recent independent exhibition at MeetFactory in Prague. The seemingly abstract clutter of laminated colors comes with the fingerprint (or skeleton) an animal, which at the same time resembles pictures of Rorscharch's tests. On the sprayed layer of the image is almost readable inscription RETINIAN MOSAIC (retinal mosaic), taken from the drawing of Salvador Dali. It is a term depicting the genius of our eye, whose individual cells and neurons are at different depths and spaces arranged in something like a half -right mosaic. Similarly, Skrepl's image has its logic and chaos, which can be discovered both by scanning its surface and asking to depth.
