In the work James Tytykal (1984) one can trace the inspiration of classical modernism. Fragmented creatures, still lifes, landscapes and, more recently, urban scenes are reminiscent of Cubism in their compositional structure and reduced colour palette. In contrast to the Cubist emphasis on the act of seeing and the problem of representation, however, Tytykalo turns to the imagination: he models matter in his paintings with an emphasis on its imaginative potential. Tytykalo's combination of acrylic and spray paint inventively merges classical figurative painting with the lightness and exaggeration of street art.

Aleš Brázdil's painting is characterised not only by a sense of illusiveness of expression, but also by the presence of a certain visual irritation. The artist puts his ability to transform what is seen or seen into a state of dynamic, rearranged matter that can be freely shaped, manipulated, and bent into an exploration of the analogical world of reproduced recordings with which the static medium of classical and digital photography and the configurable temporal media of video, film, digital recording, and documentary work.
After returning back to the Czech Republic, I still had a deep need to educate myself on this issue and find out as much information as possible. Based on this, the only possible outlet for me was painting where I had the opportunity to express some disagreement or perhaps draw some attention to the problem. Stories and compositions began to emerge of girls I portrayed as strong heroines or fragile girls who were getting a lot of unwanted attention. In the paintings I reduced the descriptiveness a lot, I didn't think it was important to portray very young girls realistically, and I emphasized color and symbols.
Tomáš Tichý's paintings have long tracked the transformations of human sensitivity in a post-media (cross-media) environment and the digital age. His work responds to the flood of still and moving images that are consciously and subliminally becoming part of our lives, together rewriting the surface of reality and modelling a new plane of perception into which manipulative and levelling elements are automatically built. It traces the connection of new media with certain visual genres (fashion, sport, politics, consumerism) with the tendency to create attractive, visually memorable constellations (artificial paradises) and idols (celebrities). It measures and explores the relationship of the traditional hanging image to new stimuli that move, shift, and reshape the language of painting.
