Erika Bornová: Madness is the Guardian of the NightPrague City Gallery - Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace, Karlova 189/2, Praha 1August 13, 2021 - January 9, 2022
Five years after her last solo exhibition, Erika Bornová, a leading representative of the 1980s generation, presents new works. Curator: Martina Pachmanová At the exhibition at the Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace, which is named after a verse from Rainer Maria Rilke’s The Book of Hours, she builds on her previous works on the border between sculpture and painting, dedicated to important historical figures, their passions, dramas, obsessions and visions. But the centrepiece of the exhibition is her work on paper: self-portraits painted with obsessive compulsion during the artist’s temporary and partial loss of sight, and fanciful, large-scale “portraits” of underwater plants and animals that show the bizarre beauty of a world invisible to the human eye. |
