Filip Dvořák

Bio

Filip Dvořák (*1990) often turns to history in his artistic practice, drawing on the visual language of periods in which art held a profound spiritual role. He freely combines these references with contemporary materials, techniques, and aesthetics. Through narratives, reliefs, architectural fragments, ornaments, landscapes, assemblages, or sunsets, he explores notions of truth and the feeling that what he addresses remains unchanged even after centuries.

He studied in the Painting Studio of Jiří Černický and Marek Meduna at UMPRUM in Prague (2010–2015) and completed a study stay at the Glasgow School of Art in 2012. Dvořák is a recipient of the ESSL Art Award CEE 2015 and the Critics’ Award for Young Painting 2018. Since 2011, he has exhibited both in the Czech Republic and internationally. His works are represented in notable public and private collections at home and abroad. He lives and works in Hejnice, Czech Republic.
