Marie Kohoutková

Marie Kohoutková entered the studio for the first time in 2019 and immediately stood out with the almost explosive energy of her drawings. Most of them are untitled and without an easily recognizable story. The artist doesn’t communicate much with her surroundings and one can only remotely guess what she is actually experiencing while drawing – usually in oil pastels.

Her emphasis on black is noticeable, but it is not at all oppressive or depressing – rather it sharply penetrates the other colours and makes known something poignant, bristled, almost combative, which needs to be expressed outwardly.
