Adam Stech

For more than a decade, Adam Štech has been on a mission to amplify the canonical art beauty through deconstruction and development of deviant dichotomy It’s the paintings we see in art history books, in auction headlines, and in major institutional collections, that the Czech painter is looking at with admiration and an urge to tear them apart and rebuild, often by synthesizing Cubism and realism. And such a mix of respect and mockery, of appreciation of the old and thirst for the new, fuels the exhaustive practice comprising drawing, collage, painting, mosaic, and sculpture, techniques that sometimes work together on getting the best out of a convincing motif or a composition.
