Lubomir Typlt (* 1975) is one of the well-known representatives of contemporary Czech figurative painting. His pictures captivate with their expressive colors, heavy brushstrokes and his relentless view of the human. The catalog Somnambul assembles latest images in which adolescent girls and boys oscillate between fear and aggression, captivity and freedom, as well as isolation and solidarity. Typlt's visual worlds are relentless, angular metaphors. They appear terrifying, but admonish that nothing can be more terrible than ignorance and numbness. Despite the absurdity of the scenes, marked by cruelty and cold, the energetic figures of the former A.-R.-Penck student do not seem to give up their search for deeper knowledge.weiterlesen
