Description
Ondřej Petrlík (1989)
2009–2015 Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, studio of Vladimír Skrepl and Jiří Kovanda, 2012 internship at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Dresden, with H.P. Adamski. Ondřej Petrlík is a Czech painter whose work moves between figuration and abstraction, personal mythology and visual introspection. He grew up among antiques and into the post-internet era, his painting combines expression, playfulness, exoticism and cultural references. Recently, his work has been strongly oriented towards landscape motifs and at the same time reflects the history of art, connecting personal experiences with archetypal and historical visual references. The works often depict fragments of bodies, animals and dreamscapes, creating visual scenes from the inner world. Ondřej Petrlík’s works are part of private collections in the Czech Republic and abroad. Notable collections include Galerie Wannieck and Osmička.
