ATELIÉRY AVU: ŠKOLA FIGURÁLNÍHO SOCHAŘSTVÍ A MEDAILE JANA HENDRYCHA
Beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary motifs in Erika Bornová's work, there are often hidden disturbing messages—frustration, uncertainty, anxiety, (sweet) painful obsessions—that bring forgotten experiences or suppressed feelings and attitudes back to life. From the outset, an important leitmotif in the artist's work has been a return to the past, whether personal or collective history.
The exhibition is not only a departure from the established boundaries of the field, but also a demonstration of the possibilities that ceramics offer within contemporary art. The fact that it is ceramic clay, in various forms and shapes, that fills the gallery spaces is not a surprising result of a symposium focused on this material. However, ceramics is not the only means of expression that the exhibiting artists work with in their creations, which is also reflected in their latest works created during their four-week stay in Bechyně.
