Dominik Adamec (screenprint)

Product detailed description

Telegraphic. You can have a unique piece of art with real artistic value in your home. The serigraph by Czech artist Dominik Adamec, entitled Ambrozia, points to the silent killer - sugar, which is depicted here in the form of a bred sugar beet. Ambrosia as a mythological drink of the gods, an enticing sweet nectar that grants mortals eternal youth, beauty and immortality. Sugar as a human mammal of pleasure, whose ingestion brings satisfaction and the illusion that death does not exist. The German inscription DIE STERBLICHKEIT ANSTATT DIE EWIGKEIT, AMBROZIA GLUTAMAN - Mortality instead of eternity - is meant to remind us that, for all the "sugar" of everyday life, we must not forget that one day we will leave this world.

The printing technique of serigraphy (or screen printing) consists of a process in which ink is pushed through a fine mesh onto the printing surface. The technique first appeared more than a thousand years ago in China, but gained its greatest popularity during the Pop Art period, when artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein made it famous. Telegraphics offer you a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the work of contemporary artists. Each print in this limited edition reflects the unique approach and personal vision of its creator. Explore the full range of telegraphics and get a piece of an inspiring world with increasing artistic value to take home with you.

Dominik Adamec (*1995) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, majoring in sculpture in the studios of Jindřich Zeithammel and Tomáš Hlavina. He currently lives and works in Berlin. Perhaps because Adamec comes from a Christian family, his work is based on early medieval sacred architecture, sculpture and elements of religious liturgy. Another inspiration for him is biology, in which he looks for anomalies in the origin of organisms and their developmental modifications. His work has been exhibited at several domestic and international exhibitions. In 2025, Adamec became a laureate of the Jindřich Chalupecký Award, the most prestigious national prize for artists.
