Stanislava Kovalcikova

In her first solo exhibition in Austria, Stanislava Kovalcikova explores the theme of the grotesque. A key stylistic element in the artist's paintings is the deliberate alienation of the familiar. She creates fantastical, whimsical settings populated by fable-like human and animal characters that operate outside of social norms. Kovalcikova's works challenge notions of gender, skin color, identity, social convention, and power relations.
