Hauschaka

Jiri Hauschka is a Czech artist and a member of the international Stuckist movement. Born in Šumperk and currently residing in Prague, Hauschka received training in classical arts. His work lies at the intersection of abstraction and figuration, balancing the complexity of both languages in a unique style. His works are represented in the National Gallery of Prague and in various private collections.

Initially, Hauschka was known for his abstract style, but his artistic development took a significant turn during his stay in the United Kingdom in 2005, where he met Charles Thomson, the founder of Stuckism. It was then that he moved away from his strictly abstract approach, incorporating more refined details with black line drawings that resemble pencil sketches. Upon his return to Prague, his work shifted toward a more realistic conception, balancing abstraction with magical realism.

His landscapes, often imbued with an enigmatic atmosphere, reflect his fascination with the magic and mysticism of the forest. Fog and shadowy landscapes become symbols of two interrelated worlds: the deep inner world of the human being and the tangible exterior, which intertwine freely in his work.
