Czech Republic, born 2001
# Matěj Pekárna · x.tsumetai
Born in the Czech Republic, Matěj Pekárna works under the name x.tsumetai —
a Japanese word for "cold" he adopted as a compass for a body of work
interested in what stays unspoken.
Self-taught and iteratively refined through daily practice, the paintings
sit firmly in dark contemporary figurative territory: recognisable figures
dissolving into texture, pigment bleeding into raw canvas, paper worked
until it almost tears.
Each piece begins without sketch or reference. Colour is decided at the
easel; composition emerges from decisions made in the wet paint. Works are
finished on instinct — often scraped back, repainted, signed only when the
surface refuses further change.
Materials: oil and acrylic on canvas, ink and charcoal on paper, occasional
collage and found material.
