Tomáš Jetela
His characteristic - sharp, accurate and fast drawing is the main distinguishing feature of his painterly handwriting. Collages, which he first used for his acclaimed diploma thesis called Library, Jetela continues to use as a significant part of painting. Somewhere it creates an abstract background, somewhere the figure itself. Elsewhere, the characters, sentences or words pasted on it complement the biased expression of the protagonist. The lonely figures in his paintings are often in hopeless situations, reflecting the world of the author himself. His favorite life on the edge obviously also applies to the characters in his paintings. However, in addition to experienced seasoned elegans, the meaning palette is expanding to other author's favorite genres - porn or clear stylistic references to Egon Schiele.
