oil on canvas, moulding, 130 × 125 cm, signed on the reverse "Petr Nikl 2007" Painting is one of the many artistic positions of a versatile artist, performer, musician Petr Nikl. He entered the art scene in the 1980s at the Confrontations exhibitions as a member of the group of hardheads who demonstrated their interest in lively, expressive painting as opposed to the introspective and existential work of the previous generation. Petr Nikl stood out with his painting from the prevailing aesthetics of the group. His smooth, carefully constructed paintings reveal an inspiration from Italian proto-Renaissance paintings, whose technical precision also became Nikl's hallmark.
