Alternate Planes

Jan Kaláb, aka Point, aka Cakes, studied at two art schools in Prague and has toured to graffiti festivals in Berlin, Moscow, Manchester, Amsterdam, Gothenburg and Sao Paulo. In 2008 he organized NAMES – a major Czech international street art and graffiti festival and co-founded alternative culture art center Trafacka. Besides classic graffiti showcasing his talent for dynamic compositions with playful use of colour, he also creates street art in a wide range of formats, never afraid to experiment and push the boundaries of the art. On canvas, his expansive graffiti style is reduced to a concentrated, minimalist expression inspired by Piet Mondrian and Frantisek Kupka. Through rounded geometry that comes to being by combining precise paintbrush painting and American retouching Kaláb immerses deeper into the analysis of the abstract space.
