Z. Černý's abstract photographs are a message from another world. You won't encounter them often, if at all. Compared to ordinary photography, where reality is concerned, his objects lack visual reality. Here, the most ordinary things become an object of art, an artifact of his dream stories. Clear detail, light and shadow and shape.
It should be remembered that abstractions are an ancient way of communication. Although seventy thousand year old cave paintings are abstract, this does not prevent us from getting to know the life story of the given time. In this context, the comparison is appropriate that Z. Černý invited us to uncover the secret of his cave. If you open yourself up to the positive vibrations of the place and happenings, the royal prize will be the journeys to your subconscious, because although Černý's concept of photography is permeated with perfectionism, it is not art for art's sake, but about telling a story.

Zdeněk Černý's abstract photographs are messages from another world. You will not encounter them often, if at all. Unlike ordinary photography, which is usually tied to reality, his works are stripped of literal visual references. The most commonplace things are transformed here into objects of art, artifacts of his dreamlike stories – revealed through detail, light and shadow, and form.
It is worth remembering that abstraction is an ancient mode of communication. Cave paintings from seventy thousand years ago are abstract, yet this does not prevent us from reading in them the story of life in their time. In this sense, it is fitting to say that Zdeněk Černý invites us to uncover the secret of his cave. If you open yourself to the positive vibrations of this place and these images, the key reward may be a path to your own subconscious. Although Černý's photographic approach is meticulous and perfectionist, it is not art for art's sake, but storytelling.
