ivana štenclová (1980)
a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts (The School of Drawing – Studio of Jitka Svobodová) in Prague belongs to those artists who stirred public interest in their work while they were studying and whose entry into the artistic scene was a wholly natural one.
She experiments with form, technique and non-traditional materials. For example, she has drawn with a fusion gun and with a syringe, superimposed paintings with insulation covering or woven them out of wires, but not merely for the sake of it, more to accurately convey her ideas. The aforesaid experiments were not capricious for the sake of being capricious.
They are naturally linked to a theme continually revisited which explores the relationship between an individual, space and time throughout the different periods of the development of a human being. Through her work the legitimacy of these experiments becomes apparent and the theme pervades the scope of her creativity.
Despite her comparative youth, Štenclová has seven examples of her work in the National Gallery in Prague as well as in worldwide collections namely the J. and M. Jelínek Foundation in Switzerland, the Museum of Modern Art of A. Warhol in Slovakia, the Wing Shya Collection in Hong Kong.
She lives and works in Ostrava
