Jiří David: Persistently Innovative
Meet one of the most prominent representatives of Contemporary Czech Art
Jiří David (1956): one of the most prominent representatives of contemporary Czech art who, thanks to his rich and diverse work, has gained a reputation not only at home, but also in an international context.
His areas of creativity consist of painting and intermedia art – primarily photography, installation and public space projects.
David’s original approach is distinguished by a high level of personal engagement and an ambition to present important messages about the pressing socio-cultural and political issues of the day.
He is the kind of artist who persistently seeks inventive, innovative visual solutions and by means of his work continually poses critical questions that help the spectators to orient themselves better in the complicated world of today.
David exhibits regularly in the Czech Republic and abroad and his works are represented in the collections of many prestigious institutions, e.g. The National Gallery in Prague, City Gallery Prague, Ludwig Múzeum, The Art Institute of Chicago and others.
