Viktor Frešo

Viktor Frešo (1974) is one of the most prominent figures in contemporary art since 2000 in the region of the former Czechoslovakia. His work and approach to art are very personal, but at the same time reflect the current situation in society and culture. The artist creates sophisticated concepts and projects, but also works with humor, simplicity, and playful themes. Frešo is also often critical of the art world and the art scene. One of the most interesting elements of his work is the apparent counterpoint between his emphasis on his enormous ego and his self-critical modesty. Another of his unique abilities is to reveal the dark side of his soul, regardless of the consequences. He is interested in direct and effective visual means and prefers to elicit an immediate response from the viewer. He often works with unambiguous and catchy slogans. Whether intervening in public space or exhibiting in galleries, Frešo ensures that his creative activity is primarily recognizable as an unmistakable gesture. Recently, the author has been devoting himself to sculpture and painting, among other things.
