ANDREA KOPECKÁ

 

Andrea Kopecka entered the artistic scene with a set of large-scale portrait paintings combined with vivid massive texture of paint. In progress, the textured layer started becoming the main theme of a piece. Gradually, Andrea has been revealing more and more of the painting process through her work with the layers, printing and washing them out. These methods gained on importance and turned to be formative actions and the author’s focus on painting as a matter produced more abstract pieces. However, the work is still subversively connected to a figurative painting, focusing closely on the body. Andrea takes an intimate look on its details, which remains unreachable for a spectator, enlarging them to almost to an abstract form. The main theme is life and its vivid bodily substance, which can be easily modified as a sort of living canvas. Andrea uses processes of hurting and healing, where the painting is understood as a living medium. It is able to get wounded and healed, but something has always already changed in the structure, in the substance and the remains are visible as a pattern or traces of washed out paint.
