Too Much Alcohol 1964

"Too Much Alcohol" (1964) by Mikuláš Medek is a powerful abstract work that utilizes a dark, visceral palette to explore the consequences of excessive drinking. Dominated by a large, bloody red circular shape, the painting evokes a sense of violence and pain. The overall composition is reminiscent of an explosion, with the red splatter radiating outwards and the surrounding white space reminiscent of a chaotic aftermath. Medek's bold use of color and gestural brushstrokes create a visceral impact, immersing the viewer in the emotional intensity of the subject matter.
