Exhibiting:
ANNA MÁRIA BEŇOVÁ
is an artist and an AFAD graduate in the Department of Painting. In her paintings, she explores the themes of femininity in the period of neo-feminism in a male-dominated society. Her paintings depict a woman in control, where Beňová depicts the complexity of female sexuality revealing its beauty and ugliness, strength and fragility. She captures the dynamic interplay of asserting dominance and surrendering it. Beňová approaches this exploration with wit and humor, almost as mockingly showing male screenwriters how to create a girl character.
LILLA GOMBOS
is a master's student at the Department of Painting at the AFAD. She deals with hybrid corporeality by connecting organic scenes and fragments of human bodies with scenes of the inorganic world into abstracted images and objects that together create a dystopian spatial situation. The human body, which is systematically connected to other beings, thus becomes a plural, a disturbingly ambivalent entity or a genderless monster.
LINDA OLEJÁROVÁ
is currently a bachelor's student at the Department of Painting at the AFAD. In her work, she has been using a postmodern and ironic approach with references to pop culture and American B-movie cinema for a long time. It is based on personal themes and Slovak realities, transforming the subject through an organic process, in which she applies the approaches of expanded painting with an emphasis on material and three-dimensional space.
ZUZANA SVATIK
is a visual artist working in the mediums of ceramics, drawing and painting. In her work, she critically reviews the function and potential of applied art in contemporary society. Her works reflect various cultural, social and political problems in the countries of Eastern Europe and depict the specifics of this environment and way of thinking. Currently, she is interested in topics such as the nuclear family and its public portrayal, hunting as a masculine hobby, the relationship between disciplinary institutions, the household and pornography. In her technological research, she experiments with large-format ceramic objects, taking into account the preservation of their functionality. She is currently a third-year doctoral student.
