Erika is an authentic painter; decorative in the best possible meaning of the word. She lays stress on the ornament, large format and layering of colours. The idea of the show shall focus on a position in contrast with architecture that relates to the person of Oskar Winkler, one of the most important Slovak functionalist architects of the 20th century whose close ties to Lučenec are both personal and work-related. These two authors are associated by the fact that Erika’s father studied at Industrial High School of Building in Lučenec directly under the supervision of Oskar Winkler whose name the school bears today. Their relationship went over and above the usual relationship between a teacher and a student and they became friends. This heritage, the memory of strict modern architecture and its laws stand in opposition to paintings which can thus create a perfect productive tension at the exhibition.
