About the artist:
Ota Jirák (born April 12, 1949) studied puppetry at DAMU. He gradually established himself as a prominent figure in Czech theater and film, working primarily at the Semafor and F. R. Čech's Provisional Theatre. He lent his voice to characters such as the plush figure Hele (he and Jiří Lábus have been voicing Jů and Hele for over 40 years), Rubeus Hagrid from the Harry Potter saga, and the alien Alf. As for his artistic work, Ota Jirák has a fondness for caricatures and paintings that capture exaggerated, even grotesque features of people or animals. This work is directly inspired by his sense of humor and dramatic expression, which allows him to enrich his artworks with absurdities and unique comical elements. He has created a series of enamels, drawings, and illustrations that have a strongly expressive style and a simplified, yet apt form.
