Jan Valik holds MA in Fine Arts from Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and MA in Painting from the RCA in London. He was awarded a VUB Foundation Painting Prize 2016 in Slovakia, was shortlisted for the Contemporary British Painting Prize 2021 and The Morrison&Foerster Art Prize 2023 in London. Valik participated in AiR Programs in Japan, UK and China. His work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions in Belgium, Austria, Slovakia, Czechia and Japan, as well as in group exhibitions internationally.
A believer in the ephemeral, Jan Valik describes his paintings as fluid territories and thresholds – between space and atmosphere, land and memory, conjured through sensation, emotion, and immersion in the medium. Painting, as both process and result, is that threshold – the potentiality of space where layers, marks, and brushwork emerge as an ecosystem of its own, a space of dialogue between the ephemeral and the everlasting.
This piece is being exhibited in our Well Hung Painting Prize exhibition. We will dispatch all online orders after the exhibition closes on 22 August.
