Artwork location: Czech Republic

This vibrant artwork captures the essence of urban life with a striking blend of realism and abstract elements. At its core, a solitary figure stands contemplatively in a sunlit street, embodying the quiet introspection often found amidst city bustle. The background buildings are meticulously detailed, rendered in warm tones that contrast with the cooler hues in the shadowed areas. The artist employs broad, expressive brushstrokes alongside sharper lines, creating a dynamic yet balanced composition. Notably, the foreground features abstract splashes of color, adding a layer of contemporary flair and symbolism. The piece masterfully uses light and shadow to guide the viewer's eye, enhancing the sense of depth and movement. This intersection of the mundane and the artistic evokes a palpable tension, making it a compelling depiction of the urban experience.

Pavel Dolejs, Around The Corner
Czech Republic  • 1985

Presentation

Pavel Dolejs is a Czech artist born in 1985 and based in Prague. He is a former student of academic artist Tomas Kubik. Pavel is a painter whose work emerges as an escape from societal dogmas. Through his canvases, he personifies and materializes these rigid constructs, placing them in paradoxical relationships to expose their absurdity. His paintings often address timeless, existential themes that he renders metaphorically through mechanical imagery, surreal combinations of objects, and striking urban street views.

Dolejs approaches his art with a sense of naïve courage, fearlessly embarking on complex and ambitious projects without being constrained by formal rules. For him, perfect form is secondary to profound content. His works explore the ways in which humanity systematically undermines itself, often unconsciously, while also reflecting on mortality as life's only certainty and an essential part of its cycle. He frequently employs irony and sarcasm, pointing to humanity's megalomania, futile struggles for greatness, and tendency toward despair instead of embracing the fleeting beauty of the moment.

By resisting the trend of form prevailing over substance, Dolejs reclaims attention for concept-driven art. He considers oil painting to be an almost perfect medium, capable of capturing both the depth of philosophical reflection and the raw immediacy of the world around us. His ongoing focus lies in visualizing the mechanisms of society and the intricate workings of the human mind.
