Acrystal, river pebbles, pyrite Koschei 33 cm; marked below on side: “JZ Preclik AD 2018” Baba Yaga 36 cm; marked below on side: “Baba Jaga” Zdenek Preclik has always looked to the past for inspiration: to Renaissance naturalism, to the work of the curious Baroque sculptor Messerschmidt, to the bronze statues of the ancient Chinese and the reliefs of the Mayans. He finds inspiration throughout history and the world, but one can always find a certain element of exaggeration, irony, and contemporary self-reflection in his work. His orientation is also close to Decadence. Preclik has been involved in occasional architectural commissions and also works in conservation, portrait painting and medal making.
