Vlastimil Kula
Czech photographer Vlastimil Kula was born in the town of Plzen in 1950. He was able to travel to the west as a young man and lived and worked at odd jobs in England, Canada and the USA. After returning home, as was his obligation under then Soviet rule, he studied art photography at the Prague Academy of Arts. He also studied theatre. These two curriculums would naturally lead one towards artistic and personal freedom, but these traits were especially pronounced in Kula given his experience traveling to the "freedom-loving" West. He was a natural and vociferous rebel against the power of the communist state. This led him into the very capitalist profession of professional advertising.

After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, liberation followed and advertising lost its rebellious appeal, so Kula gradually moved into art photography where he could more forcefully challenge Czech society. Kula’s photographs are mysterious and defiantly sexy. Frustrated by what he calls the “boredom of pornography” and the mechanical depiction of sex, Kula aims to distance himself from traditional genres by exploring uncharted territory and pushing the limits of what people consider “art.” He, his wife, and various men and women are the subjects of his shadowy monochromes in which sex, taboo, love, passion, and rebellion are the key themes.
