Vojtěch Luksch is an artist in the Czech Republic who creates embroidered paintings inspired by video games like Doom and Grand Theft Auto. His works reflect a fusion of modern digital art and 19th-century landscape painting, employing an aesthetic reminiscent of nostalgia and escapism. By using traditional cross-stitch techniques, he contrasts serene embroidery with graphic imagery from violent games, exploring generational conflict. His use of found materials ties his artistic journey to his personal environment, emphasizing history and the transformation of everyday objects in his art.
"This inter-connectedness and references represent a certain form of reborn romanticism, referring through elements of escapism and nostalgia to the landscapes of virtual space."
"For me, the result image is some kind of nostalgic screenshot that blends the childhood I spent in a games with some grandma-core vibes."
"It's necessary for me to use existing embroidery that has a story, was created somewhere in the past, faded, sometimes discolored, unwanted."
