Jan Uldrych reflects on the relationship between transparent representation and coarse expressive painterly gesture, which is usually associated with abstraction. Udrych therefore, in effect, presents us with his paintings in front of ideal and perfect windows: We see the world behind them with absolute clarity, but we have no rational experience of what we see "out there", our minds simply do not have the concepts with which to grasp what is depicted.

About Jan Uldrych
At the centre of Uldrych's attention is the inner world of experience, the limits of human perception, the motif of the unconscious memory. "I am interested in a certain confrontation with reality. We do not know with unshakeable certainty where its boundaries really are, what it creates and where the source of our consciousness is. I have no desire to paint only the things I see with my eyes; I want to go beyond what we commonly call "reality". I am interested in the inner structure of being, something original, something that seeps in from other planes of consciousness. In this way we avoid the lie - we do not transform the external world, but our experience of the other gives us answers to what the world "out there" rather is not", says Jan Uldrych.
This makes Uldrych's resulting paintings all the more interesting. Imagery - traditionally understood (leaving aside the problem of realism as a "convention") as realistic - represents in the paintings completely unknown entities anchored in an unknowable reality. In their visual character, the paintings thus resemble almost abstract, non-figurative positions of painting. Jan Uldrych is aware of this and over time begins to reflect on the relationship between transparent representation and the coarse expressive painterly gesture, which is usually associated with abstraction. Udrych therefore, in effect, confronts us with ideal and perfect windows with his paintings: we see the world behind them with absolute clarity, but we have no rational experience of what we see "out there"; our minds simply do not possess the concepts with which to grasp what is depicted. His paintings thus call for a "Wittgensteinian silence" - "What cannot be talked about must be kept silent." The contours of realism and reality itself are therefore shaped in the pure and pure creative, conceptually ungrasped experience of the image, in an attempt to resurrect the "innocent eye."

Tomáš Tichý - Burning Bush II
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.
Aleš Brázdil - Temple
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.

Jakub Tytykalo - Astral Dealer
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.

Jan Soumar - Back to reality
The key to Jan Soumar's paintings is Back into the Reality (2021). Here, reality is its own substance for visual and semantic reassessment. The artist paints from memory fragments of figures and landscape passages, which he collages into a single format together with modernist innovations that replace the clarity of illusory space and transform it into an abstract, sensual or, to use contemporary language, experiential environment.
Zeb One - E8
By gradually developing the script, Zeb One maintained the continuity of his creative work. He never followed art trends much, and his personal opinion and inventiveness was gradually shaped by graffiti, the street art scene, but also by his admiration for the aesthetic quality of floor plans as we know them from urbanism and architecture. The pursuit of the purest possible form without gestural and emotional elements eventually logically anchored him in a geometric and abstract expression based on typography.
