Petr Kožíšek
* 1972
Petr Kožíšek (1972), graduated from Academy of Fine Arts (Visual Communication Studio, doc. J. David; Painting Studio II, doc. V. Skrepl), can be classified as significant personality of the younger Czech painting generation. Painter approaches to the painting through the concept and simultaneously retains vivid pictorial expression of his output as well as the content of communication linked to the used form and morphology. He works with figurative stylization, improvisation, abbreviation and quotes. He occasionally engages in the context of his art some textual elements (text). He often experiments with the form of painting through unconventional painting techniques and procedures that directly examine and improve the emerging artwork. Artist's distance from his emerging painting emphasizes impersonal brushwork - pouring paint on the surface, gestural application of paint, engraving surface calculations with chance of emerging shapes, loose drawing, minimal color drawing or modeling, etc. His approaches to paint media are naturally taken up a position between figurative and abstract painting, both these positions are complementary and sometimes overlapping. He creates spontaneously painting thematic lines, the development of which is perceptible back to the initial points, which usually take place in the author's own living experience.
Painting - for Petr Kožíšek - it means memory footprint, in a more general dimension, the possibility of self-knowledge and self-interpretation.
