Matyáš Chochola

Matyáš Chochola graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague at the Painting Studio II / Vladimír Skrepl School. He has spent one semester at the studio of Thomas Zipp at the Universität der Künste in Berlin. Chochola works primarily in the media of installation and performance. His body of work represents a variedly composed universe whose integral part is constituted by the figure of the artist himself. Chochola experiments with postinternet aesthetics, an unorthodox yet sophisticated combination of the symbols of the present and its ancient roots. Trash aesthetics meets precise glass-making techniques, spilled color meets silk painting, the poetry of shamanism meets a 90s disco.
