Hynek Martinec: The Birth of Tragedies

Martinec’s paintings and drawings explore ideas about time, history, reality and spirituality, often appropriating imagery from vintage photographs and the Old Masters, and these new works have been developed in response to an invitation from the National Gallery in Prague to respond to the museum’s Baroque collection.

The exhibition includes both paintings and drawings. The upper gallery is devoted to Martinec’s technically extraordinary hyperrealist paintings.
