Josef Bolf (born October 7, 1971 in Prague) is a Czech painter. He studied at the Academy between 1990–1998. In 1995 he studied at Kongsthögskolan (Stockholm) and in 1996 at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Stuttgart. From 1996 to 2002 he was a member of the art group Bezhlavý jezdec.

Bolf's creation captures the strange characters, often suffering, sometimes half-animal. His paintings are often considered depressed, gloomy, sad, melancholy.^[1] His ideas often stem from childhood spent in the southern city of Prague.
