Zdeněk Daněk (*1977) is one of the most visible landscape painters on the current domestic scene. People can know his work not only from galleries, but also from postage stamps, comics or CD cover (cooperation with the Czech Philharmonic). He is especially successful with his open air, because he sees the landscape as a laboratory for painting, usually adds some extra painting challenge. In addition to "green paintings", for example, "various scenarios", in which it fights against its reasons and painting bad habits, and thus deliberately takes unsatisfactory brushes, paints randomly selected places or the image turns every few minutes; or "externalities" in which it comments on environmental problems and points to the absurdity of human behavior in relation to the environment.

As a landscape painter, he did not identify himself immediately. This happened only during his studies at Zdeněk Beran at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts (1999–2003), before he graduated from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (1996–1999), where he was under the leadership of Pavel Nešleha (painting) and Jiří Barta (television graphics). From these studies it still tends to figural painting, portrait or animation. Sometimes he also focuses on the building. After his studies, he has become a common part of important landscape exhibitions: "In the shadow of trees" - the North Bohemian Gallery of Fine Arts in Litoměřice (2024), "Dialogues" - in the Prague Gallery of Kooperativa (2019), "Czech Landscape painting" - Liberec Regional Gallery (2005). Pardubice.

Zdeněk Daněk for 100pcs

The work is part of the concept of "green paintings", which is one of the most impressive landscape projects of recent years. These are endless panoramas of rich greenery and rotten centuries -old oaks, in which Zdeněk Daněk moves the boundaries of the open air. Each of the paintings, even the few meters, were created on the spot in the uncultivated part of the Choltice Field, where it resembles a boubín forest rather than a well -kept forest.

Zdeněk Daněk was repeated with the paintings. He worked on weeks, months and some years. He stopped every time the sun began to shine, continued when it was pulled. Based on the consistency of conditions, weather and seasons. He made a detailed analysis of the subject, including many preparatory sketches. He made sure that every brush stroke made sense and painted systematically from the most important to detail. In other words, the open air, which tends to be fast, brief, spontaneous, devoted the patience of the painting studio and created a series of paintings in the exterior, which can equal with monuments of studio classical painting. At the same time, he focused on the green color, as the eye is more sensitive to it and distinguishes more shades and also specifically painted landscapes without heaven, which is not customary in the landscape tradition.

This image is then inaccessible in "green images". The author has a family link to him and at the same time is part of a several -meter panorama, which is surrounded by viewers at exhibitions. This was the case, for example, in the Václav Špála Gallery - DNA paintings (2018) or in the East Bohemian Gallery in Pardubice - Green Paintings (2022), where a large panoramic catalog came to the exhibition.
