Klára Grančičová

Statement

We perceive and are aware of all things in an infinite number of ways and, accordingly, create images of reality in our minds.These images we accept as our truth. To navigate this tangle of notions that forms the world around us, I use drawing as my means to understand.

Being the most transparent and authentic medium, drawing allows me to pour my views out spontaneously and present them raw, unmediated. I analyze and process everyday experiences through plain mark-making, striving to simplify the overwhelming complexities with an economy of lines and shapes. I strip things bare to see their essence, and to give structure to what appears chaotic in my mind.

GlogauAIR Project

During the residency Klára Grančičová wants to delve deeper into hercurrent research and produce a series of approximately 25 drawings based on the descriptions of various cognitive biases and her visual understanding of them.
