It\u2019s notoriously difficult to be accepted onto a Royal College of Art degree course and not unusual for artists to apply many times before being accepted. One of our Master\u2019s artists, Jan Valik, recently completed his MA at the RCA. Remarkably, this was his second Fine Art Master\u2019s – how many artists are so committed they do two MAs? His work is divine.. poetic, and entirely his own.<\/p>\n

I bought a tiny painting by Jan a little while ago – a thundery cloud called The Subtle Edge of Memory. I\u2019m looking at it now.. the way the rain falls in this diffuse kind of mist – it\u2019s glorious:<\/p>\n

Subtle Edge of Memory
\nJan Valik<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Last night Jan Valik\u2019s solo show opened in Vienna. The show is entitled The Calling, which feels like such an apt name, doesn\u2019t it? For these poetic, atmospheric paintings – light breaking through mysterious paintscapes.<\/p>\n

We have some wonderful pieces available by Jan and it feels like a pretty exciting moment for him – so it\u2019s a great time to invest too.<\/p>\n

If you feel called to go to Vienna – his solo show The Calling is on until the 18th of October.<\/p>\n

Wishing Jan a brilliant solo show.<\/p>\n
