„In Eva Jaroňová’s drawings and prins, all the classical dualities that humankind has defined during its evolution are organically intertwined: the natural versus the artificial, nature versus technology, human versus other entities inhabiting the Earth, and the male versus te female element. however, in the scenes depicted this division is overcome and there is a symbiosis and close interconnection of all of the above. The scenes are reminiscent of references to fertility rituals, have a strong erotic charge and can be perceived as a sort of 21st century paganism.“ (Veronika Čechová, Tales from the Dark Forest)

Imagine a Breath of Fresh Air

Galeria Studio, Warsaw, 2023

The group exhibition at Galeria Studio in Warsaw elaborates on the theme of visions of the future of our planet and the humankind on several levels. It involves projects by a number of Czech, Polish and international artists. Rather than the courage to embark on unrestrained utopian plans, today’s visions of our future are accompanied by anxiety and black scenarios. There will inevitably be a future, even if it is one after the extinction of our species. But perhaps there are more promising prospects after all.
