Jan
Vičar

Since the mid-1990s, Jan Vičar has belonged to a few young graphic artists who try to put this rather weary art discipline into motion by new impulses. The characteristic feature of his work is represented by the combination of traditional techniques with less conventional, even experimental procedures. He incessantly transforms his expression and in his individual works, Vičar freely blends conceptual, figurative and abstract elements. His typical artwork is a rich structural extra large format print. On the other hand, he sometimes creates small detailed artistic sheets. Most of his works have a narrative character, yet it does not need to be connected with its figurative content; it often depicts the story which led to the graphic´s origin and is implicitly included in the work as another contextual layer without being straightforwardly obvious.
