"Světy, stíny, obrysy"

Bachelor's thesis

Worlds, shadows, outlines

Abstract:

Bakalářská práce "Světy, stíny obrysy" se zaobírá symbolikou znaků, barevností a vzájemným dialogem příběhů. Velký důraz je zde kladen i na samotnou instalaci děl, jež dotváří celkový dojem a propůjčuje plátnům charakter instalačního umění a navazuje vzájemný dialog pláten a vyzívá diváky k tvorbě asociací. Živelná zobrazivá malba a barevnost děl se neodklání od klasického pojetí estetiky, nesnaží se však ani prvoplánově zalíbit. Práci prostupuje eklektická estetika, hřejivá hravost a vizuální lehkost. Na velkoformátová plátna byly použity akvarelové barvy v kombinaci s akrylovými barvami.

Abstract:

The bachelor thesis titled "Worlds, Shadows, Contours" is comprised both of theoretical and practical part. The project outlines the author's previous work same as the essence of their mental processes and artworks. There you can find an Egyptian dog, flowers (dandelion), figure of a woman, purple dragon, a palm tree, portrait of a sleeping man, a brain or a mountain. It covers the symbolism of characters and colours and the reciprocal dialogues of the story. The same emphasis has been put on installing individual plans - artifacts forming a new space, clear and less transparent plans and space. The work also includes a brief reflection on cyberspace aesthetics and influences, the traditional approach to painting in contrast to the installation art and the conception of work with materials. A potential reader can also come across an effort for post ex-rationalization, a kind of definition of aesthetics with the help of a short presentation of favourite artists like Heidi Bucher, Jakub Tomáš, Kašpar Matouš, Katarína Janečková Walshe and Patricia Iglesias Peco, and also naturally, photos placed in the practical part of the bachelor thesis. At the first sight, a particular display hides a lot of abstract layers, moods, ideas, really wonderful colours and my favourite dadaistic spontaneity as well. One of the important aspects of the art pieces is a sketch background, space, where the symbols meet each other and create a new context. The practical part of bachelor thesis was painted in November last year (2020). Painting of these big "canvases" was a spontaneous, expressive and emotional process. "Artifacts" were created by watercolour, acrylic and tempera colours (a mix of these techniques). Wet-on-wet process, also known as "alla prima" technique, is one of the most authentic kinds of painting, it allows the artists to capture the moment. The theoretical part also consists of some poems which add an abstract atmosphere. The poems are important for the compatibility of paintings and they add meaning to theoretical part of the thesis as well, creating the background of the painting process. One of the main goals is to find a new place, an emotional moment in the universe, to create a spiritual show and English garden for the poetic souls.
