Jan Jedlička

Jan Jedlička is a painter, draftsman, graphic artist, photographer and filmmaker, but also a wanderer, observer and explorer. His paintings are primarily a record of what he experiences as he walks through the landscape and engages with its changes. Combining different techniques and media, he creates multi-layered images of places he observes, usually over long periods of time. Formative for him were his sojourns in the Italian Maremma, Prague, and some areas in the British Isles.
The publication opens up Jedlička's work in its entirety – not chronologically, but as a mapping of the artist's movements through the landscape and along the paths of his various artistic strategies.

Jan Jedlička (b. 1944, Prague) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague before migrating to Switzerland in 1969. He works in various media: painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, and film. His works have been exhibited in various galleries and museums in Europe.
