Pavel Hečko (*1951, Černá Voda, CZ) shares the fate of a generation of young artists born in the 1950s, one that “did not want to take part in the construction of official Czechoslovak post-normalisation artistic culture and which simply felt a need for generational self-mutilation and communication with the public.” His work from the 1980’s deserves special attention. Hečko mainly deals with portraits. In his pictures he records not only the external appearance of the photographed, but also many elements of their nature and feelings. He is interested in searching for physiological and character similarities and differences – for example, the series Sisters, Twins, Inverse Portraits, in which he used the possibility of comparison on the basis of side-inverted images.
