Artist or Maker

Notes

In the 1960's Malich began to simplify his works and created monochrome reliefs in black, white and grey. After the mid-1960's, he created a number of objects examining the possibilities of displaying crossing of space, lines and energetic areas. These objects are close to constructivist tendencies, but his works are specific because they do not originate primarily from the rational concept, but they are often connected to artist's personal experiences and are often a reflection of the landscape, artist's important inspirational source. Later, he moves from the surface to the free space, starting to create wire objects. Karel Malich studied Graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, was a member of artistic group Křižovatka and Hollar Association of Czech Graphic Artists. His works are represented in many important galleries such as Centre Pompidou in Paris, Museu d'Art et d'Histoire in Geneva or Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
V 60. letech začíná Malich výrazně zjednodušovat rukopis a vytváří monochromní reliéfy v kombinaci černé, bílé a šedé. Po pol. 60. let vznikla řada objektů, ve kterých zkoumal možnosti zobrazení prostorových průniků, průchodů, linií a ploch pro pohyb energie. Těmito objekty se výrazově blíží aktuálním konstruktivistickým tendencím, jeho díla jsou však specifická tím, že nevycházejí primárně z rozumového konceptu, naopak je v nich zřejmá návaznost na autorovy osobní prožitky a často jsou odrazem krajiny, umělcova důležitého inspiračního zdroje. Později přechází od plochy do volného prostoru, začíná vytvářet drátěné objekty, které mu otevřely cestu k uvolněným a odhmotněným plastikám, působícím jako spontánní prostorové kresby. 
Karel Malich studoval estetiku a výtvarnou výchovu na pedagogické fakultě Univerzity Karlovy, grafiku na AVU v Praze u profesora Silovského. V letech 1958-1973 byl členem tvůrčí skupiny Proměna, stále je členem umělecké skupiny Křižovatka. Karel Malich je jednou z nejvýraznějších postav české umělecké scény druhé poloviny 20. století. Jeho díla jsou zastoupena v mnoha významných galeriích, např. Centre Pompidou v Paříži, Museu d'Art et d'Histoire v Ženevě nebo Stedelijk Museu v Amsterdamu. V roce 2013 se konala velká retrospektivní výstava v Jízdárně Pražského hradu, v letošním roce se Karel Malich stal laureátem ceny Vladimíra Boudníka.
In 1960s beginnt Malich mit starkem Vereinfachung seines Handschriften und bildet monochrome Reliefs in Kombination von Schwarz, Weiß und Grau. Nach der Hälfte 1960s entstand eine Reihe von Objekten, in denen er Möglichkeiten der Darstellung von Rauminterferenzen, Durchgängen, Linien und Flächen für Energiebewegung untersuchte. Mit diesen Objekten näht er sich in seiner Ausdruck zu den aktuellen konstruktivistischen Tendenzen, seine Werke sind aber spezifisch, weil sie nicht aus einem rationellen Konzept hinausgehen, im Gegenteil gibt es da offensichtliche Verbindung zu den persönlichen Erfahrungen des Künstlers und oft sind sie ein Spiegelbild der Landschaft, der wichtigen inspirierenden Quelle des Künstlers. Später geht er von der Oberfläche zum freien Raum, beginnt Drahtobjekte zu bilden, die ihm den Weg öffneten zu den immateriellen, körperlosen Plastiken, die als spontane räumliche Zeichnungen wirken.
