In his work, the author focused on the poetry of everyday things, grouping objects through reduction and constructive resemblance to geometric shapes. In the first period of creation in the 60s, he focused on pastel still life. Later he continued to search for a simplified geometric shape with the use of the constructivist composition of images. The hint and reduction of the shapes that united the colour and shape became primary. We know his still life with bottles, targets and collage with playing cards. Barčík's work is based on geometric crystallization of shape and reduced colour, which he also used in graphics sheets.
The author was one of the co-founders of the Nicholas Galand Group (1957 - 1968). He dedicated himself to monumental creation, painting, drawing, collage and graphics. He attended several foreign trips, for example to Hungary, Bulgaria, Belgium, France, Holland or the USA. In 1968 he won the Cyprian Majerník Award for his work.
Andrej Barčík's works are represented in collections of all Slovak state and public galleries. During his life, Barčík had several solo exhibitions at home and abroad (Moscow, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Paris, Cologne, Palermo, San Marino, Mexico City and Berlin). However, the most important exhibitions of collective exhibitions are all the exhibitions of the Mikuláš Galanda Group.
