"The point is to bear certain vision inside and look at the world as if you were looking for something. And when you are ready, you will find it. You just need to know what you want. I felt I wanted to newly define painting for myself."
Dokoupil
Jiří Georg Dokoupil is one out of the few Czech post-war artists who has established himself on the international art scene. Art reviewers mostly consider him to be a part of the postmodern painting, which developed mainly in Germany and Italy in the 80´s and 90´s.
His work as a whole is not easy to define with respect to the great plurality of styles that he uses. This plurality of styles reflects his strong belief that the most important thing in art is to seek, rather than to find, and at the same time, it shows his unfailing imagination and creative energy used to capture the various themes. Permanent characteristics of his work are the changeability, permanent quest and exploration of new themes intimately connected with the invention of new expressional forms.
Exhibition is organized by Prague Castle Administration in cooperation with Prinz Prager Gallery, Galerie Bruno Bischofberger and Galerie Andrea Caratsch.
Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition Dokoupil 100 is available for sale in the bookshop at the Prague Castle Riding School.
