In his work, Eduard Ovčáček (born 1933) focuses on painting, printmaking, collage, sculpture, visual and concrete poetry, Lettrist photography, action art and installations. The characteristic feature of graphic art’s easy communicability between people worldwide was the reason why printmaking became the primary medium in his work from the time of his emergence on the then unofficial Slovak art scene. Between 1959 and 1968 he devoted himself to developing the technique of structural painting and printmaking. Following the founding of the Concretists’ Club in 1967, he began focusing on the printmaking technique of screenprint, in which he newly incorporated the figure into the context of the letter and timeless sign. Since the 1990s he has broadened the artistic possibilities of screenprint by using digital technologies.
