I am a fan of this type of scientific ecological philosophy, which supports the perception of our connection with the organic – natural world, which is much more refined and, at the same time, more fragile than we are able to perceive. This connection and empathy of the complex world, such as aquatic, plant, organic life and relationships, is very spiritual, and at the same time the awareness of the current state is very problematic and alarming.

Biography

In her sculptures, Anna Hulačová organically merges ancient local traditions with contemporary global issues. Her specific language is largely influenced by Slavic folklore and Czech traditional crafts, and it speaks about the current hybrid state of the world. The bridge between the past and the future is tangible not only in the content of her artworks but also in the materials she uses. Combining cement and concrete with organic materials - bees’ wax, honeycombs, and wood, she emphasizes our new hybrid reality.


Anna Hulačová’s interest in the current environmental state of the world is informed by contemporary ecological philosophers. Resembling Pierre Huyghe’s Untilled (Liegender Frauenakt) [Reclining Female Nude], Hulačová frequently uses the juxtaposition between man-made and natural, illustrating the complexity and fragility of our world, and raising awareness of the ongoing alarming crises.


Hulacova's figurative, yet abstract modern sculptures can be identified with some features of Henry Moore's work, which was also inspired by ancient idols and characters. Robotic and dystopian, her sculptures are collective images of fake idols of contemporary society, which has lost its identity and is currently in a state of uncertainty.
