Aleš Soukup

Aleš Soukup was born in 1962 in Prague. He graduated from the Faculty of Law of Charles University. In his legal practice, he dealt with civil, administrative and misdemeanor law, where he worked, inter alia, at the Prague 4 City District Office, at the Civil Administration Department. 

 In the last two years he has been working on creating collages. He found inspiration for his activities in galleries of paintings in Basel, Arnheim and Munich.

The purpose of the author's activity is to get the viewer and himself out of the gray presence into an exotic and adventurous environment. Great influence on his work had some authors of books for young people, such as  Otakar Batlička and R. L. Stevenson.

 In addition to creating collages, the author devotes himself to poetry, reading publications about historical events, for example from the period of the European Reformation, and also traveling - among other things, he was enchanted by the surroundings of the Rhine River.

 The exhibition can be seen from August to October 2020 in the lounge gallery of LOCÁL  café & bar.
