Magnetické pole ve vesmíru

Magnetic Field in Space

A remarkably vibrant abstract composition by Josef “Pepa” Luňáček, a distinctive representative of contemporary Czech action and gestural painting. Magnetic Field in Space is constructed from an exceptionally dense rhythm of coloured traces, droplets, lines and overlapping layers that create an almost pulsating pictorial field. Yellow, pink, red, blue, green, black and earthy tones spread across the entire canvas without a single dominant centre, producing the impression of an infinite field of energy. Luňáček works according to the principles of action painting, in which the physical process of applying paint becomes an essential part of the finished work. He uses alkyd paints and gradually builds individual layers of colour one upon another, achieving remarkable depth, structure and intensity of the painted surface. Viewed closely, the painting dissolves into hundreds of individual gestures, droplets and chromatic events; from a greater distance, however, these elements merge into a surprisingly coherent whole. The title Magnetic Field in Space aptly describes the character of the composition, with individual streams of colour appearing to attract and repel one another, intersecting within an invisible system of forces. Luňáček's distinctive artistic language has frequently been associated with American Abstract Expressionism and particularly with Jackson Pollock, yet the Czech artist arrived at his approach independently and developed an individual visual language based on gesture, layering and an exceptional knowledge of painting materials. The parallel with Pollock has also become part of Luňáček's exhibition history: in 2015 the Latin Art Gallery in Prague presented his solo exhibition I Am Not Pollock. Luňáček has exhibited in the Czech Republic and internationally, including Paris, where his work was presented, among other occasions, within the POPUP ART 2016 project in Le Marais. His international activity continues in 2026, when his work is currently being presented at an exhibition in Paris; information concerning this current Paris presentation was provided directly by the artist. Josef Pepa Luňáček is a member of the Union of Visual Artists of Olomouc and his works are represented in private, public and corporate interiors and collections. The present work is an original action painting executed in multiple layers of alkyd paint on canvas. CURATOR'S TIP: A powerful and exceptionally energetic example of Luňáček's action painting in the highly attractive square format of 80 × 80 cm. The density of the colour layers, dynamic composition and immediately recognizable artistic handwriting create a work capable of becoming a dominant feature of a contemporary interior. The parallel with Jackson Pollock is not merely a marketing comparison but forms a documented part of Luňáček's exhibition history, while the artist's work has also been presented in Paris. FOR INVESTORS: Josef Pepa Luňáček has established both a domestic and international exhibition history and his works are represented on the auction market. The current presentation of his work in Paris in 2026 further strengthens the international dimension of his career. The starting price of CZK 21,000 for an original 80 × 80 cm canvas represents an attractively positioned opportunity to acquire a characteristic work by an artist with a highly distinctive visual language.
