Maxim Havlíček’s paintings bring writing, gesture and material into open fields where thought becomes physical trace.

Painting as a Form of Thinking · Anna Kodl

Current work

Anima Mundi

2025—2026

The observer and the observed become inseparable. Writing expands across the canvas as an open field: a temporary order within constant transformation.

Biography

Prague.
Berlin.
Los Angeles.

Black-and-white portrait of Maxim Havlíček with his arms folded

Born in Prague in 1974, Havlíček came of age between the discipline of graphic arts and the cultural rupture of post-Wall Europe. He moved to the United States in 1999 and settled in Los Angeles in 2011.

Across successive bodies of work, the written mark has evolved from language into a record of duration, movement and presence.
