Two cocks Painting

Jana Blum Zimová was born in the Czech Republic in 1987 and now lives and works in Germany. In the tradition of Magical Realism, her works present unreal and impossible events taking place in the real world. The impossible or supernatural happens in her paintings. The artist uses imagination in the frame of natural environment and social realities, thus searching for a truth that goes beyond what is visible in everyday life. In those so-called “magical happenings” in her paintings, reality and dream melt into a superordinate totality that needs to be interpreted. text: Muster-Meier Gallery Jana Zimová is a Czech artist. The theme of all of her paintings are bizarre stories, that are full of dramatic moments, erotic, miracles and weird beasts. The inspiration for these artworks are drawn from stories that appear in the daily press and from the traditional myths from South America and Asia. Zimovás works are full of allegorys and a dark symbolism, this makes her works look scary and inviting at the same time. In her paintings the exaggerated reality collides with nightmares and dreams, always spiced with a portion of humor. text: Mark Paul Divo
