VERONIKA HOLCOVÁ
b. 1973, CzechiaHolcova’s work can be classified as Art Brut in the broadest sense. Her intensely coloured paintings and drawings are created intuitively and are reminiscent of the surreal. The phenomena of metamorphosis and the archetypal feminine characterise the work. Conception, birth, development, maturity and death, but also the constantly conflicting forces of Eros and Thanatos, light and darkness or tenderness and cruelty—by which transformation is driven.
Veronika Holcova (*1973 in Prague) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague from 1993-1999. In 2000 she received the scholarship of the Egon Schiele Center, Cesky Krumlov, in 2002 the Schwellenmätteli Scholarship, Bern. She exhibits internationally. Her paintings and drawings are in public and private collections, such as the Czech National Gallery, CaVu Cheb, as well as collections in Canada, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, the USA and China. Albrecht Gallery has been showing her work since 2005.
