Jan Merta

Galerie Martin Janda is pleased to present the fourth solo exhibition of renowned Czech painter Jan Merta The Volunteer.

Jan Merta's paintings explore the boundaries between figurative depiction and abstract painting, whereby the topic or subject selected is conveyed employing a strikingly reduced formal vocabulary. Socialised in the 1980s at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, the attempt to depict the essence is regarded as integral to the respected artist's approach.

Jan Merta, *1952 in Sumperk (CZ), lives and works in Prague and České Lhotice (CZ).
