Radoslav Kratina was a Czech graphic and industrial designer, photographer, painter, curator and sculptor. His work, based on rational thinking and a materialistic conception of the world, is rarely unified and focused. Kratina's works, for which he found stimuli in the real world, are among the most authentic manifestations of Czech neoconstructivism of the 1960s and combine contemporary constructive and kinetic tendencies with an existential dimension. With his original and pioneering work he established himself on the international scene during the 1960s. After the Soviet occupation in 1968 and during the following normalization, he lost the opportunity to exhibit and his works, created in isolation, were only discovered after the fall of the communist regime in 1989.
