A Moment of Stardom

9. 4. 2014 - 19. 4. 2014

​

​Tomáš Jetela (*1986) is one of the most significant contemporary Czech painters of the youngest generation whose work makes a clear reference to classic figurative painters as Egon Schiele or Oskar Kokoschka but also Francis Bacon. Last year this 2011 graduate of Academy of Fine Arts in Prague was awarded with Critic's Award for the best young painters. His new paintings from the cycle "A Moment of Stardom" express through Jetela's characteristic figurative paintings unearthly moments of trance of a shaman that are linked with transience of Warhol's iconic 15 minutes of fame.
