12 LITRES | Pavla Krkošová: Notes on Movement

Description

We went to the beach with the little girls; the water was advancing and retreating in long waves. The sand was black and the sun was hiding in a dull mist. The girls were collecting pebbles, the whole scene was in slight motion. I started drawing the points that moved the slowest. I try to grasp what I see. Children draw with their finger in the sand, then stand up, run; the sea blends into the people and soaks into them; the games with the sand merge into the sea and interpenetrate each other. From time to time, I change the colors of my colored pencils. I depict the characters by layering. Some stand close to me, others are distant... hence a slight oscillation. A gentle slide of the situation towards somewhere. And here, in Olomouc, I draw in the same way. A journey through the city. A situation in slight movement – as it appears to me – unstoppable – always going further and further. Pavla Krkošová Pavla Krkošová is an artist who works between drawing, painting, and graphic design. In her work, she mainly captures her immediate environment and everyday situations of family life, which she transposes into stylized visual representations with sensitivity. She studied interdisciplinary creation at Ostrava University and photography at FUD UJEP. She is co-founder of the silkscreen workshop Uutěrky, with which she has long participated in author book festivals and the independent publishing scene. Besides her personal creation, she also dedicates herself to workshops and exhibition curation projects. Pavla Krkošová was selected following an open call to become a resident of LITR 2026. The opening will take place as part of the program of the 12th edition of the LITR book fair, which will be held from September 18 to 20 in Olomouc. Our partners: LITR, the Ministry of Culture, the city of Olomouc, the Olomouc region, the National Culture Fund.
