Nadežda Koyšová: In the Water
Artist: Nadežda Koyšová
Exhibition Title: IN THE WATER
Curator: Peter Decheť
Exhibition Duration: November 14 – December 14, 2025
In her work, the artist focuses intensely on figurative painting, considering the expression of inner human experience as key. She emphasizes that the best works in portrait and figurative painting are those that, through external appearance, reveal a reflection of the interior. For her, the foundation of artistic treatment of the figure lies precisely in expression.
Her work explores the intersections and contrasts between the ideal, universal canon and the realistic representation of individual forms. She is interested in how viewers identify with a work, including in contrast to depictions of anonymous, faceless bodies, where she examines the legibility of gesture and expression as means of communication.
The year-round activities of Nástupište 1-12 are supported by public funding from the Slovak Arts Council.
