Adam Kašpar Books

Adam Kašpar (1993) is a prominent figure among the youngest generation of Czech painters, having graduated in 2018 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (Painting Studio IV under Martin Mainer). He is widely regarded as a realist painter, but for him, realism transcends technical execution and external appearance, focusing instead on inner experience and a truthful depiction of the surrounding world. Kašpar identifies primarily as an observer and a part of nature, viewing painting as a crucial means to convey his observations to others. His thematic exploration spans the realms of the sky (astronomical observations), earth (forests and landscapes), and underground (geological studies). He travels extensively, both within the Czech Republic and internationally (Mongolia, Bosnia, Iceland, Scotland) to find inspiration for his work. He occasionally collaborates with natural scientists, including the Czech Geological Survey, NP Šumava, and the National Museum. His home and studio are located in the Jeseníky Mountains. The monograph highlights three creative areas of Kašpar's work, encompassing his geological, ecological, and astronomical studies, with contributions from Jan Dotřel, Pavel Dvořák, Barbora Kundračíková, and Matthew Rampley.

Pavel Plyšatý není obyčejný člověk, opravdu upřímně se snaží. Nikdo nedokáže zapomenout na svoji výjimečnost, na božství v sobě, navždy. Román vypráví napínavý, přitom citlivý lidský příběh muže, který za svůj život projde skutečně vším možným. Narodil se na palubě letadla, vyrůstal uprostřed kukuřičných polí, dospíval v ulicích velkoměsta zmítán nároky a očekáváními společnosti, vystřídal desítky zaměstnání, několikrát málem zemřel, aby se mohl znovu zrodit.
