New Kid on the Block

One of the murals curated at Vnitroblock by Dudes & Barbies Gallery, painted in September 2018 by Czech artist Maxim Havlíček. Combining the dynamism of calligraphy with vibrant abstraction, the work was created during his three-month residency at Vnitroblock in preparation for his first Czech exhibition. Having lived and worked in Los Angeles since 1999, Havlíček created the piece as both a return to his hometown and a reflection of Vnitroblock itself, which at the time was still a new place on Prague’s cultural map.
