Who is Jiří Anderle?

Jiří Anderle is a Czech painter and graphic artist.

In 1961 he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. During 1969-73 he worked as an assistant at the UIA Zdeněk Sklenář and Jiří Trnka.

In dozens of his works, Anderle urgently and powerfully expresses the human existential anxiety and general timelessness. Recently, his work has moved closer to abstraction.

In 2006 he was awarded the Medal of Merit III. degree.
