Jan Merta (1952) BLISS

Jan Merta’s work is often discussed in terms of its sophisticated visual language and iconography. He frequently pushes the boundaries of art; the subject is set against a simple, subdued background, and the form is kept as clean and minimalist as possible. Jan Merta studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, has worked as a restorer, and is a freelance artist.
