Lucie Jindrak Skrivankov
Exhibited Artist
Painter Lucie Jindrák Skřivánková, a graduate of Michael Rittstein School at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts, is one of the most significant Czech female artists of the current generation. She developed her unique discernible style, characteristic by a broad gestural technique, daring pastel colour scheme resembling water-colour gradients and occasional material combinations, while still studying.
Recently she has been relating to architecture in its different forms. Her residence in Brazil led her to be inspired by many local buildings, though she also finds her motifs back home in the Czech Republic.
The artist is never hesitant to experiment with different forms and motifs, such as portraits or deeper abstraction, but during the past year, completely new impulses infiltrated her work. Lucie headed on the journey of pure abstraction while preserving some elements of her earlier, typical pieces. Now she combines them with influences reminiscent of Zdeněk Sýkora, Toyen, Joan Miró or some of the artists of the Art Brut movement.
She works with massive lines, new materials and their structures and monumental formats upon which she layers all the elements. She lets chance and intuition enter the process even more than before and is herself content with the results.
