Alois Janak: A contemporary painter, etcher and lithographer,
the art of Alois Janak has been included in major exhibitions in France,
Germany, England, Italy and the United States. Known for his meticulous
detail and provocative imagery, Janak often combines seemingly incongruous
elements to create a surreal world. In Hat, for instance, a cowboy's
hat is set against an intriguing calligraphic background. The words tell
a story and a history that we can't quite decipher. Alois Janak challenges the
observer to create his own narrative. |

Born in Czechoslovakia, Alois Janak first studied art in Prague
under Professor Spacek in 1943. He completed his education in both Paris
and Munich in 1949-1950. Janak's first one man exhibition in the United
States took place in 1956. In the following year the Galerie Marcel in
Paris hosted a similar exhibition. Since 1982, Alois Janak has resided
in Munich. |
