Stanová Antonie *1995

Untitled, 2021

mixed media, canvas, 180 × 130 cm
The painting work of Antonia Stanová, an artist of the emerging generation, oscillates between a figurative and abstract position, characterized by the treatment of the picture surface as a space for recording gestures, graphic elements, splashes of colour, imprints, pictograms and signs or fragments of the human body. Seemingly random and loosely sketched records are reminiscent of the character of a fragmentary diary, with which they are also linked by the loose connections or references to the text, although their meaning is more poetic and non-literary. In the last paintings there is a clear shift towards a more abstract expression, in which splashes of colour, impressions and records form traces of events and associations.
