Short item description
Jan Pištěk is a painter whose paintings have a clear and well-thought-out order. His work is influenced by symbolism associated with ancient cultures, today's research into the cosmos, and contemporary computer science. It creates a tension between real and abstract elements. His paintings are not illusory, they become a representation of complex thought structures. They reflect a refined system in which the arrangement of simple elements creates a complicated whole that has an internal logic. Pištěk is interested in processes that we can only perceive under a microscope, and at the same time the energies that control the balance of the entire universe. His paintings are generous in form, concise in content, and very dynamic in their gestures.
