Petr Vcelka

Petr Včelka (1983) graduated on Department of Printmaking and other media at Academy of Fine Art in
Bratislava, Slovakia in 2009.
He is focusing on drawing and painting. His work stems from realism, abstraction, figuration as well as aesthetics and narrative potential of comics as medium. He explores the tension between abstraction and figuration and the outcome of his work is specific
personal fold (between) of them. He is an extraordinary drawer, whose drawings and especially
sketches looks very spontaneous, naturaly and are made with great ease. The texture of his work is
rough which is grounded in his focus of intuition of the moment and material which he is dealing with. He is trained as a classial printmaker so he is naturaly working with black and white. As very important supplement of his black and white body of work he is nowadays experimenting with
painting in according to expand potencial of color and the allure of texture in his work.
