His ongoing practice of deception now encompasses some of the formal language of late Modernism, and his palette is almost hallucinatory in its clarity. Dolejš carries forwards his project of tracking his and our relationship with artworks by invoking Modernist tropes and the monochrome, and delights in undermining our commonplace assumptions about just what it is that we are seeing. His deliberate puncturing of his viewers’ assumptive contexts lends his work subversive underpinnings and a dangerous perceptual edge. It is as though he was asking us to look at his photographs through an anamorphic polyprism – and the prism shows us the splintering of our own reflections staring right back at us in a very predatory way.
