Ondrash & Kasparek

Bio

The duo of contemporary artists Ondřej Konupčík (1984) and Radim Kašpárek (1990) is renowned for the complex technology of transferring acrylic colors from the water surface to the canvas. Ondřej Konupčík is known primarily for his original tattoos sought out by clients from all over the world. Radim Kašpárek is an artist who searches for non-traditional possibilities of expression through new art technologies. He is the inventor of the complex technique of acrylic painting from the water surface. After developing it for four years, during the first lockdown, when Ondřej Konupčík could not devote himself to tattooing, they developed the technology together. The duo is popular among collectors and designers for the specific visuals of organic abstract shapes reminiscent of the flow of water or fluttering fabric. Most recently, they joined forces, for example, with Festka, a Czech producer of high-end carbon frames for road bikes. Two models of bikes created as part of this unique collaboration were presented at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2021.
