The Speech – Oldřich Kulhánek 1988

The Speech – Oldřich Kulhánek An exceptional lithograph by Oldřich Kulhánek, in which the artist fully displays his masterful command of line, tone, and psychological depth.

In this work, the human profile is not merely depicted but, as it were, opened up—an introspective space within which thought, emotion, and identity visibly unfold.

The subtly constructed gray tones bear witness to refined technical precision, while the eruptive red form constitutes a dramatic counterpoint: a visual metaphor for the unstoppable power of expression—the inner “speech” making its way out.

The work embodies Kulhánek’s characteristic tension between control and release, between the visible and the unspeakable. In line with his oeuvre, in which human existence takes center stage, this piece transcends the purely figurative and touches upon universal themes such as consciousness, vulnerability, and existential presence.
