Hauschka
Jiří Hauschka (born 1965 in Šumperk, Czech Republic) is a Czech painter and a member of the international Stuckist movement. Classically trained, he currently lives and works in Prague. His practice sits at the intersection of abstraction and figuration, balancing the complexity of both languages in a distinctive style. His works are held in the National Gallery in Prague as well as in various private collections.
Initially known for his abstract approach, Hauschka’s artistic trajectory shifted during a stay in the United Kingdom in 2005, where he met Charles Thomson, founder of Stuckism. This period led him to refine his practice with detailed passages rendered in black line, reminiscent of pencil drawing. On returning to Prague, his style evolved towards a more realist conception, fusing abstraction with elements of magical realism.
His landscapes often convey an enigmatic atmosphere, delving into the mystical quality of forests, where mist and shadow open up a dialogue between inner and outer worlds. This sensibility has been recognised in numerous art spaces; among his distinctions are the César Monzonís Collection Award at MARTE Fair in Castellón and the acquisition of one of his works for Colección SOLO at UVNT Art Fair in Madrid.
