Artworks

The work of the expressive Slovak painter and sculptor Ladislav Černý lives on a permanent provocation that polarizes and triggers explosive discourse.

In doing so, he blatantly looks behind superficially intact facades, sometimes granting insights even into his own soul and exposing the actors in the act. Many of Černýýs works shock as they bluntly expose forbidden obsessions. The attentive viewer looking through the keyhole catches the protagonists in flagrante delicto, and is directly at the action.

His expressive directness lives from the contradictory. Shocking collides with full force and monumentality on delicate, highly vulnerable. His snapshots of everyday life tell overwhelming stories of ordinary people in the hectic hustle and bustle of our time. In this way, he ignites an almost unimaginable spectacle of contemporary art, a firework of colours and compositions with enormous radiance. Protest, stimulation and provocation are far removed from the zeitgeist in his cryptic productions. He uses the turbulent head cinema as an unconscious protege of his "private investigations".

In the virtual exhibition IN FLAGRANTI (art Feature #35) Alberta shows 34 works of the artist from the years 2008 - 2019 in a museum setting. The specially designed 3D space surprises with its hexagonal shape and presents on several levels such spectacular works as The Thief of Thoughts, Window of the Soul, Planes in the Belly, Morning in Venice, in a Bed or Snow White.

Born in Bratislava in 1965, the artist has been represented by BURN-IN since 2019 and impresses with his strong personality, professionalism and comprehensive, distinctive œuvre. Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava and the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden (diploma restoration). Since 1999, extensive exhibition activity in Europe and prestigious restoration activities for renowned institutions and artists (including Hermann Nitsch).

The artist lives and works in Ivanka pri Dunaji near Bratislava and in Vienna.

The BURN-IN online repository contains currently 150 works by the artist.
