Product Description
The collection Ungetting is the poetic debut of visual artist Markéta Adamcová. She combines poems with original drawings created during her residency at the INI gallery in Prague. The leitmotif was a Garden, which the artist explored as a space that maps and records traces inside its own body. She viewed it from different perspectives and times, revealing the constructed nature of our ideas about it. In doing so, she showed it as a romantic, spiritual and escapist idea, as well as a place where the wild and the cultivated potentially meet - open nature and the human plan.
Adamcová writes her poems in parallel to her artistic practice, in which she explores the interconnection of personal narrative, poetic principles, and the spiritual dimensions of natural and human systems. Based in painting, she focuses on how personal stories can be communicated through symbolic or abstract forms, offering viewers a way to navigate between the intimate and the universal. In her process, she often explores how literature and images intertwine, while incorporating the complexity of (in)human bodies to emphasize the diversity of inner structures and the traces we are leaving within them.
