"Jirka pile works are created in close engagement with various forms of contemporary culture and take in equal terms of subcultural phenomena, popular culture and power, commerce, (German-German) history, as in art, art business and art discourse. According to present its multifaceted artistic production that emphasizes analog of linocuts and cut-outs enough about computer-based image generations to conceptual and performative forms and curatorial. Through his appropriierenden, often playful, experimental approach, it leads to current aspects of mediumship, communication and critical discourse analysis. His work reflects not only very accurate about "art as art", but relates directly to current social trends and subjects them to constant review.

In kunstraum muenchen Jirka post focused on a central aspect of his work: the exploration of language in relation to visual and spatial orders. Thus, text and writing not only media that refer to something else that is in its symbolism that is "transparent" and permeable, but characters that have their own visual density and opacity, which allow to enter the formal to the level of significance or the even overlap. Jirka pile stresses inherent value of this text by single words, phrases or short passages of text, often taken from everyday contexts, orders, crossed with three-dimensional geometric objects or spatial symmetry-linear structures.

Construction of meaning alternates with its destruction. Aware of their self-made objects retain their character in order to maintain accountability, equal to one-make-yourself skills. This forced a deconstructive reading Jirka pole that stands on the usefulness of visualization as a contingent experience.
