Eva Nováková

Czech visual artist whose work focuses on the ambiguity of objects and materials, often through the use of glass and light.

Her installations explore the architectural dimension of space and material, combining conceptual thinking with a social perspective.

She graduated in 2014 from the Faculty of Art and Design at J. E. Purkyne University in Ústí nad Labem. In the same year, she co-founded Penocze, a women-led studio focused on authorial design, lighting objects, and site-specific installations.

Between 2017 and 2020 she completed several international residencies (Japan, USA, Australia, Germany), and her works have been presented in exhibitions in the Czech Republic, France, Belgium, Denmark, and Australia.

Currently, she works as an independent glass designer in her own studio, where she combines experimental approaches with the craftsmanship and tradition of Czech glassmaking.

„I am interested in working with and challenging paradigms of object art."

"In my work I experiment with objects that are no longer in use and which undergo a distinctive transition, when if not recycled end up as trash. I consider this process most intriguing and within my work there is a strong focus on interfering with or even reversing it.

The objects entail a shift of meaning, wherein trivial particulars become complex, reassembling something familiar yet dysfunctional.

I am continually pushing the boundaries and limitation of incorporating leftovers into unorthodox structures that refer to observation of ordinary human environments.

In this way I find the edges to outline the provisional order of things that everyone considers as no good, as “leftovers”, which have a great potential to be unusual or at least interesting."
