signed underneath DRÁPAL 74, glazed ceramic, 39 × 49 cmVladimír Drápal's work is based on the modernist tradition of
in shape abbreviation, abstract, reduced expression and sovereign
drawing made with a few strokes of the pen, reminiscent of Picasso's inspiration
or the shape and volume modelling of Brancusi and Moore. Intentional
stylization of human figures, portraits and animals leading to various shapes and
deformations does not bring his work closer to the grotesque, but rather to the form of
of prehistoric and primitive depictions and pre-images, emphasizing only
certain archetypal features and characteristics of the depicted object.
