Piece of cake
Gračka, Martin ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
For this series of paintings, I chose scenes from the computer game Duke Nukem 3D. I try to imitate the graphics of computer games of the early 90's. I'm not talking about thorough repainting of pixels, consistent copying of screenshots, but about capturing the atmosphere of the game using painting gestures and abbreviations - converting pixel graphics into the medium of painting. The viewer sees the images through the eyes of the protagonist, thus getting into his role. In my work, I am mainly interested in aesthetic enjoyment and the game between painting and graphics. Then about evoking sentiment that affects a narrower group of people.

A Personal Dimension of Melancholy
Kubátová, Veronika ; Zapletal, Aleš (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
Bachelor Thesis based on the topic Personal level of Melancholy. From the very beginning this topic was based on the fact that this work will touch me personally and will be based on the nature of my personality and build on my previous approaches to painting, that were formed during previous studies. My goal was to create abstract paintings, that matched their material meaning and are able to show them in the process of work.

The final work aims to communicate via simplicity in painting's form related to family background. Trough the banalized motives I'm letting the spectator to stop for a while and think about the values of family sharing.

Mundanity at the End of the City
Dvořák, Jakub ; Nikitinová, Alice (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis is part of a long-term built and developed cycle of paintings, in which I deal with the environment of the small-town periphery, or the small-town landscape in general. In the paintings I try to create an atmosphere on the aspects of mundaneness, everyday life and civility. I do not avoid a certain descriptiveness to express my message to the audience. In painting, I looked mainly at composition and color. My main goal is show to the viewers the image of a contemporary Czech small town.

Useless Things
Maloušková, Drahomíra ; Jeřábková, Edith (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
Useless things. I normally use trash things like pattern in painting still life. My father suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder – accumulation of things. In addition to painting, I also work with objects themselves. My interest also closely related to how the concepts of the subject, object and artifact are appliing in contemporary art. There are the tradition of imitation fact, principle of ready-made, the issue of technical reproducibility and virtual reality of things in history of art. As a central theme of my thesis, I selected the part of bodywork Tatra 613, which carries all the testimony about ,,useless and hopeless "situation in which it is located. It is also an object monumental and visually very aesthetic. Yet it is not my intention to settle for the principle of redy-made. Asked about artwork as intermediaries art and its seemingly useless producing and reproducing, I want to try to create another such usless situation. That's why I make a cardboard copy (1: 1) of this object. I also make video with motive 3D copy of the same object. I like to create some voltage between that useless object and valuable art practice. I think, it does not just mean such futility when these objects will be viewed as an art.

You must gather your party before venturing forth
Brož, Štěpán ; Novotný,, Michal (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
As my diploma thesis I created a series of expresive figurative paintings. The series tells fragments of stories from romantic fantazy sceneries combined with contemporary subcultural and life style motives. My inspiration comes from a strong game play experience and a deep emotional bond with the central european landscape. The story is situated somewhere between a fairy talish past and a dystopic future.
