Ondřej Přibyl |
Ondřej Přibyl is a graduate of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague where he studied with prominent personalities of photography, such as Pavel Štecha and Ivan Pinkava. His seemingly diverse cycles oscillate between social documentary, conceptual photography and manipulated photography. Nevertheless, a conceptual basis is apparent. Přibyl is technically accurate but his talent is typical of an exact premeditation of his themes. He always works in certain cycles, mostly elaborating classic material and then converting the shots on the PC and printing them on special paper. His series have an obfuscating character. It is not clear if the artist plays a certain game with the viewer – each of his photographs is a kind of puzzle. His landscapes are defocused or conceal a mysterious object or hide a symbolism to which we have no clue. Přibyl’s photographs are fascinating for their perfect cohesion of the idea and its brilliant technical execution. He is a surprise with every new exhibition.
