About the artist:
Vojtěch Kovařík is one of the most prominent representatives of the contemporary young generation of painters with a strong international reach. His work draws on mythological stories and archetypal motifs, which he transforms into a distinctive, monumentally conceived figurative expression. Typical features of his painting are distinctive contours, contrasting color surfaces and unmistakable work with the monumentality of figures, often set in an abstracted space. Kovařík's works have been exhibited in major European and overseas institutions and collected by prestigious galleries and private collectors.
About the work:
The canvas Untouchable from 2019 is an example of the author's mature painterly language, in which personal symbolism is intertwined with references to ancient mythology and classical figurative art. The figure, typically massive and elusive for Kovařík, becomes the bearer of the theme of strength, isolation and defiance. The title Untouchable refers not only to physical inviolability, but also to personal space and psychological defense against the world.
The work is signed, dated and titled on the reverse of the canvas.
