Urant’s work reveals inner world of personal stories, memories, and figurative
characters. He creates his paintings, through a long process of painting, washing
off, scraping off and applying dry pigments of what later on becomes a dreamy
pictorial image with multiple layers of colours and narratives. His painterly work
is essentially studio-based, the studio thus being a special and ordinary place.
Through it, he lets us into his world of colors and space, moving on the border of
dreaming and lived reality. Jan Urant completed his MA at Chelsea College of
Arts, London, in 2013. In 2015 he was shortlisted for the ESSL ART AWARD
CEE. Currently he lives and works between Wiltshire, U.K. and Prague, Czech
Republic.
