Jáchym Šimek

Jáchym Šimek (*2000) is a sculptor who is constantly testing the medium of sculpture. This manifests itself primarily in his deconstructive approach, through which he examines the limits between painting and sculpture in the territory of the three-dimensional object. His reliefs and busts can be perceived as records of more complex narratives, characterized by a symbolic consideration of themes at the border between posthumanism and the natural (physical) sciences. Currently, his work can be seen at the Zlín Youth Salon at the Regional Gallery of Fine Arts in Zlín. Šimek has been a student of the Studio of Figurative Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague since 2020, where he underwent an internship in the academic year 2023/2024 in the painting studio of Josef Bolf and Jakub Hošek.
