Minimalist Geometric Paintings by Jan Kalab
Jan Kalab born 1978 is a Czech artist that was one of the pioneers of graffiti in his homeland. As a founder of the DSK crew, his career stretched from Prague’s train yards to painting whole cars in NYC in 2000.
Around that time, he developed an interest for 3D graffiti and eventually started sculpting huge abstracts letters. This eventually evolved into passion for abstraction when in 2007 he graduated from the Academy of fine Arts of Prague. One year later, he had his first solo show and continued actively creating works and showing worldwide. Over time, his works became more geometric based with squares and circles as the main shapes or forms he uses. After successfully introducing his work in the US last year, Kalab has several shows scheduled, with a big solo show in Prague coming on the 29th of June at Villa Pelle. Follow him on Facebook.
