Jan Smejkal

Jan Smejkal is working in different media since the 70 ies – painting, drawing, performance – in his artistic approach he is dealing with themes as time, signs, writing and language. Drawing, writing and painting are forming parallel worlds in his oeuvre, the fundamental idea lies in uncovering the indirect and hidden relationship within these components.
