Jiří Černický presents 'Divoký sny' (Wild Dreams) at Galerie Rudolfinum, a project featuring over fifty drawings and an equal number of objects and installations, with more than half created specifically for the exhibition. Known for his engagement with environmental, social, and para-scientific themes, Černický shifts his focus here to explore the intersections of the elevated and the mundane, the anticipated and the surprising. The exhibition invites viewers into the mind of a naturalist, collector, observer, and a 'mad scientist' unafraid to engage with the materiality of the human body, blurring the lines between dreams, reality, and scientific inquiry. Jiří Černický, born in Ústí nad Labem in 1966, has been a prominent figure on the art scene since the early 1990s and is a laureate of the Jindřich Chalupecký Award (1998). He currently leads the painting studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague and collaborates with experts from various fields. His early work in the 1990s was characterized by performances, with his "First Serially Produced Schizophrenia" (1998) project, featuring motorcycle helmets stylized into Edvard Munch's "The Scream," bringing him significant attention. Černický primarily works in painting, object art, and multimedia installations, but also engages with book illustration and music creation.
