Tina Hrevušová (1998) studied at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (UMPRUM) in Prague and is currently continuing her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts (AVU) in Prague. In her work, she moves through drawing and painting to sculpture and installations, combining these techniques with performance, where all the processes are linked and complement each other, morphing one into another. Using the tool of imagination, she tries to find new ways of experiencing and perceiving the world, concretising our interiority, she reminds us of ontological things, paradoxically those we forget in the boom of material society. It works with the deconstruction of human identity and the creation of a new one that renounces the human form, often focusing on specific emotions or metaphorically expressed psychological processes of the mind. She works in the manner of research through experience (many of her works must be seen in the context of her entire artistic practice) they build upon, respond to, construct and deconstruct each other. They are experiential and often ephemeral. She conceives of identity as a form of energy that has the property and task of unfolding and transforming. It combines the invisible with the blatantly obvious, the corporeal and uncomfortable with an endearing aesthetic. It takes inspiration from the life of non-human organisms, insects, the unconscious mind, dream language, anatomy, discomfort, or fear. She is interested in the spaces between language, trauma, monstrosity, and the imagination of otherness.
