Among the early, and lasting, influences were the 14th century Czech Gothic panel paintings he saw at the National Gallery there. Jiri’s first one-man exhibition was held in Malostranska Beseda, Prague, in 1996.
Following the Soviet invasion in 1968, Jiri came to England. Soon he found employment as a draughtsman with Wedgwood and settled in the Potteries.
He enrolled to study painting at Staffordshire University (then North Staffordshire Polytechnic). He graduated with a BA (Hons) degree in 1979. Since then he has painted full time.
Jiri’s work is exhibited widely throughout the country and is in many private collections in this country and abroad.
