Boris Jirků, known for his expressive figurative paintings and illustrations inspired by Latin American literature, will present a collection of works reflecting his unique artistic style at the New Stage of the J. K. Tyl Theatre in Pilsen.

"In the exhibition you will find a selection of my illustrative work, especially bibliophile, which is not often seen - for example, Edison by Nezval, Song of Songs by Seifert or Stars of the Source by Řezníček. On the ground floor there are large-format canvases - landscapes from journeys, and upstairs there is a kind of 'Orbis Pictus', the world in pictures. One wall is dedicated to what they used to call engaged painting, and I never thought I would be involved in that. But the situation with Putin bothered me so much that I had to paint myself out of it," Jirků said.

The exhibition entitled Left Handed is part of the long-term efforts of the J. K. Tyl Theatre to develop cultural events in Pilsen not only through theatre productions, but also through exhibitions of important, mainly regional artists.
