Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague Jiří Černický (born 1 August 1966) is a Czech visual artist.

He first received attention for outlandish projects, such as, in 1993, collecting tears from people in the street, which he then took to an Ethiopian monastery.

Černický combines various media in exhibitions, alternating between easel painting, objects, video and photography.

Other examples of Černický's works include tools for taking drugs made of cut glass, a tattooed sausage, a glass model of a nuclear explosion, a striped series of paintings, an ornamental series on terrorism, monochrome images with a silicon structure, a monument in the form of an information board at a railway station with philosophical texts, videos about the movement of the speed of light, the “Gagarin Thing”, and a white motorcycle helmet imitating Munch’s The Scream.

In 2015 he was appointed Associate Professor at the Faculty of Art and Design, Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem.
