Veronika Psotková - In Search of Zen

Description

The search for personal Zen is a thread—albeit with some exaggeration—running through the themes of the thirteen installations and individual works, which together form an authentic existential glossary of the sculptor, mother, woman, and wife under the pressure of current life circumstances. It is not about the pursuit of perfect tranquility, but rather the everyday attempt to find a balance between what we desire, what we must do, and what is happening to us.
For Veronika Psotková, working with the figure, the body, and its transformations is characteristic, as is the ability to combine classical sculptural techniques with unusual materials and a contemporary perspective on human experience. A distinctive element of her work is black or galvanized steel mesh, from which fragile-looking, spatially open figures emerge. Psotková often explores the tension between the physical form of the human and what goes on inside. She is interested in the body as tangible matter, but also as a carrier of emotions, social roles, expectations, and personal stories. "In Search of Zen" does not shy away from everyday life—in fact, she uses it as material for her sculptural work. With distance, irony, and a certain tenderness, she captures situations familiar to many of us. The exhibition is not a guide on how to find Zen. Perhaps it is more a reminder that the search for calm, balance, and space for oneself is an endless discipline. And that sometimes the best strategy is to take it all with a bit of humor.
