Zbynek Sedlecky

Zbyněk Sedlecký uses acrylic colors on canvas to create his compositions. His gestures are quick and his brushstrokes give life to rapidly changing cityscapes. The results look like a sketchbook and become an agile collection of transient thoughts. Sedlecký looks at the “process in time” itself, in which something becomes extinct in order for something new to be born.

Zbyněk Sedlecký (born 1976 in Ostrava, Czech Republic) lives and works in Prague, Czech Republic. He studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno, Czech Republic and at the Academy of Fine Arts, Prague. Group exhibitions include 2010 Liverpool Biennial, UK; Prague City Gallery; House of the Golden Ring, GHMP, Prague and CNEAI, Chatou, France. Solo shows include Prinz Prager Gallery, Prague; 35M2 Gallery, Prague and Gandy Gallery, Bratislava, Slovakia.
