The exhibition 'ART BRUT: Anatomia Metamorphosis' focuses on three Czech art brut creators: Anna Zemánková, Luboš Plný, and František Dymáček. It explores their individual artistic styles and a shared concern with the human body, which they subject to various anatomical metamorphoses.
The 'ART BRUT: Anatomia Metamorphosis' project delves into the work of three significant Czech art brut creators: the internationally renowned Anna Zemánková (1908-1986) and Luboš Plný (born 1961), alongside the discovered graphic artist František Dymáček (1929-2003). Defined by Jean Dubuffet's concept of art brut as spontaneous and imaginatively raw artistic activity, the exhibition highlights the original, individual, and unique creative output of these artists. A common thread uniting Zemánková, Plný, and Dymáček is their profound engagement with their own physicality, which they explore through diverse anatomical metamorphoses. Luboš Plný's work is characterized as a scientific process, often featuring anatomical self-portraits that document experiments on his own body, rendered in tomographic sections and inspired by the birth of his son. Anna Zemánková's response to physicality is more subconscious, with her detailed floral motifs concealing organic shapes that suggest physiological processes related to motherhood, often enhanced with crochet or perforations. František Dymáček's creative process and visual language echo those of psychic mediums, using pens to create dynamic organic structures reminiscent of cell clusters or organ cross-sections, mapping his mental space with a mix of labyrinthine and decorative elements.
