Jakub Uksa

Painter and graphic artist Jakub Uksa belongs to a strong generation of Prague writers (OBIC) who entered the graffiti scene in the mid-1990s. His relationship to writing, and his clearly defined form, is due to the study of applied graphics. Almost from the beginning, he drew inspiration from the creations of strong ancient and oriental cultures. He consistently created his work without sketching, in an intuitive freestyle. He perceived his work as a graphic puzzle, with the head always working a few moves ahead. The last rationally placed line would logically close the piece without the need to add any more artistic elements. In addition to the overall shape, he also experimented with the “nervousness” of the line, its width and multiplication.
