about the pictures
I am inspired by artists like Egon Schiele, Horst Jansssen and Francis Bacon, but all the time I try to develope my own expressive style by using different combined tecniques such as scraping, ink, aquarell, dry pastel, pencil, pieces of paper, textile, hair, glue, etc ...
about Milan Sopousek
Born 1959 in Prague.
As a child I was always drawing, admiring the grotesque expression. In the seventies I attented several drawing courses under prof. Nedved in Prague. Later I met painter and graphic artist Vladimir Smerda, with whom I often discussed artistic challenges. At that time, in the early eighties, I started to draw with pen and ink, trying to find my own style. I was a great admirer of the Austrian artist Alfred Kubin.
In 1985, at the age of 25, I emigrated from the Czech Republic to Norway, where I worked as a house painter, made illustrations for alternative magazines and went to art/design school Westerdal.
In the nineties I started to exhibit my works, determent to go my own, independent way.
