GUEST

KATARÍNA JANEČKOVÁ WALSHE

Katarína Janečková Walshe sa narodila v roku 1988 v Bratislave. V období rokov 2007 až 2013 študovala na Vysokej škole výtvarných umení v Bratislave, kde získala magisterský titul v odbore maľba. Jej prvá samostatná výstava sa uskutočnila v roku 2009. V súčasnosti pôsobí v Corpus Christi v Texase a New Yorku. Inšpirovaná mužskými a ženskými rolami a dostupnosťou sexuálneho obsahu Janečková Walshe spochybňuje mužský pohľad na ženu prostredníctvom sexuálnej slobody a cez hravé farby a postavy, ktoré používa objavuje úlohu sexuality v modernom svete. Komixoví medvedi zobrazujú mužskú potenciu, kým nádherné ženy v rokokových farbách hrajú a pózujú pred publikom, čo divákom umožňuje zamyslieť sa nad vlastnými apriórnymi predstavami o rodových rolách a identite. Katarína, ktorej nie je cudzia dichotómia, flirtuje s fantazijným svetom na základe pravdivej interpretácie vlastného života a skúseností.

Janečkovú Walshe ako Európanku fascinujú v Amerike aj výstrednosti života v americkom južnom Texase, ktoré má možnosť sledovať. Skúma kultúru posilovní, americkej mužnosti a krajinu juhozápadu. Narodenie jej prvého dieťaťa a život v novej krajine, ktorá sa natoľko líši od jej vlastnej, podnietili Katarínu zaoberať sa vo svojom diele krásnymi a sureálnymi okamihmi každodenného života, ktoré odrážajú jej nové dobrodružstvá. Janečková Walshe vystavovala v rôznych krajinách sveta a má galerijnú reprezentáciu v Európe aj v Amerike.

Katarina Janečková Walshe was born in 1988 in Bratislava, Slovakia. From 2007 to 2013, she pursued her education and received an MA in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava with her first solo show in 2009. She currently resides in Corpus Christi, Texas as well as New York. Inspired by the roles of masculinity and femininity, the wide availability of sexual content, and challenging the male gaze through sexual liberation, Janečková Walshe uses playful colors and characters to direct and discover the role of sexuality in the modern world. Cartoonish bears depict the virility of men while beautiful women in Rococo colors play and pose for the audience, allowing viewers to reflect on their own preconceived notions of gender roles and identity. No stranger to representing dichotomies in her work, Katarina flirts with a fantastical world based on her honest interpretations of the life she has experienced.

As a European in America, Janečková Walshe is also fascinated with the eccentricities of what she has witnessed from American life in Southern Texas, exploring gym culture, American masculinity, and the Southwestern landscape. With the birth of her first child and residing in a new country so different from her own, Katarina tackles the beautiful and surreal moments of day-to-day life with work that reflects these new adventures. Janečková Walshe has shown internationally in various countries and is represented by galleries around Europe and North America.
