Adéla Součková has a long history of working across multiple media – painting, drawings, text, and video and performance art. Her works reveal her deep interest in ancient cultures and their grand narratives, and also in how to create an epic that might reflect the era in which we live. Součková’s artworks and the stories associated with them tell us much about the role of spirituality. They also explore the possibility of transforming disappearing traditions and finding or rediscovering their place and purpose in today’s world of digital technologies.

Adéla Součková has been working with the technique of blue (resist block) fabric printing for several years. At GASK, she is exhibiting works from series created over the past three years that, in a manner typical for her, combine tradition and the present day. Her textile stelae were inspired by medieval Armenian gravestones, while her paintings of fountains explore forms of water on the boundary between the living and non-living world.
