Works by Magdaléna Ševčík
Magdaléna Ševčík is a professional abstract painter. She is one of the most prominent representatives of young Czech abstract painting and has exhibited her work in Czechia, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK. She is interested in the topic of the human mind and its representations through perception, which she interprets and explores in large scale paintings and playful installations. Her compositions examine hidden possibilities, and extensions or flaws of the human brain, in memory, self-control and regulation, entanglement, and a higher self. Ševčík uses acrylic paints, always choosing a specific set of colors, she explores how they mix and blend, how they express what can’t be expressed by words or other actions. Her visual language is expressive and symbolic. The fluid background tells a story and speaks of strong moments and experiences. It follows a certain topic in a free and flowing manner. Her work is subjective and raw. On the other hand, the foreground introduces a certain rationality with its simple forms, sharp lines and ellipses. Without them the artwork is incomplete. They either support and amplify what’s happening in the background or negate it completely.
