Karel Lek

(1929-2020) Karel Lek was born in Antwerp in 1929 but moved with his parents to North Wales as refugees when he was a boy. Karel studied at Liverpool College of Art and was a Member of the Royal Cambrian Academy since 1954.

He exhibited mainly in North Wales, where he lived, but he also showed his work his work in London, Amsterdam and Chicago. His work can be found in numerous public and private collections.

Karel regarded the streets as his studio and always kept a sketchbook with him. The main subject matter of his drawings was people going about their business and, unobserved, he looked to capture the immediacy of the fleeting impressions they created. Jazz musicians were another favourite subject and “Lovers” were a recurring theme.
