Martin Velíšek (*1968, Athens) is a Czech painter who works in painting, drawing, graphics and art theory. He studied at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University and the Academy of Fine Arts in the studios of Jitka Svobodová, Zdeněk Beran, Bedřich Dlouhý and finally in the studio of Miloš Šejn. He has received several domestic and international awards for his work.
As part of his research, he is primarily concerned with the context of the emergence of art. He wrote the book The History of the Lemon and, together with the philosopher Miroslav Petříček, the book Views (which create paintings). He is a professor at the Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, and lives and works in Prague.
Velíšek is primarily a painter, but his work is shaped and developed by an intellectual concept. The exhibition will primarily present that part of Velíšek's work in which he reflects on existing historical works and, as is typical of a postmodern painter, draws from the full range of their historical conception and the possibilities of their interpretation and interpretation.
