At first glance, Houdek’s paintings resemble geometric ornaments. One sees circles, rectangles, ellipses, diamonds and folds that come together in ever-new surprising combinations. At the beginning of his work around 2012 the artist referred to certain prototypes that one encounters in the classics of modern art like Malevich, Kupka or Mondrian. Increasingly, ‘real-life’ objects such as loops, opened accordion books, shelves and similar forms appeared which lend the flat pictures a spatial, three-dimensional effect. These objects then no longer appear as abstract figures but rather as ‘surreal’ objects floating in the space. The many air wheels and rotating discs also figure in a similar way in Houdek’s paintings. They recall shells, rotors of turbines or strange airplanes. Others by contrast are reminiscent of open books or registers. (Zdenek Felix)

Beim ersten Hinschauen erinnern Houdeks Bilder an geometrische Ornamente. Man sieht Kreise, Vierecke, Ellipsen, Rauten und Fächer, die sich in immer neuen, überraschenden Kombinationen begegnen. In Wirklichkeit jedoch betreiben diese Gebilde ein vielschichtiges Spiel mit unterschiedlichen Bedeutungen. Zu Beginn seiner Arbeit, um 2012, bezog sich der Künstler auf bestimmte Prototypen, denen man bei den Klassikern der abstrakten Kunst wie Malewitsch, Kupka oder Mondrian begegnen kann. In zunehmendem Maße erscheinen später „reale“ Dinge wie Schleifen, geöffnete Leporellos, Regale und ähnliche Formen, die den flächigen Bildern eine räumliche, dreidimensionale Wirkung verleihen. Diese Objekte erscheinen dann nicht mehr als abstrakte Figuren, sondern als im Raum schwebende, „surreale“ Gegenstände. Ähnlich verhalten sich in Houdeks Gemälden die zahlreichen Fächer und sich drehende Scheiben. Sie erinnern an
Muscheln, Rotoren von Turbinen oder an seltsame Fluggeräte. Andere wiederum gemahnen an aufgeschlagene Bücher oder Register.
