klara kristalova: where the owls spend their days
alison jacques gallery, london
february 27 – april 11, 2009
czech-born artist klara kristalova now lives and works in sweden. her recently opened exhibit at
alison jacques gallery is her first solo london show. kristalova is known for working plaster, bronze,
wood and ceramics to create small scale figures which often allude to ornamental objects. through these
pieces, she tells allegorical stories that reference fairytales and folklore. for this show, kristalova has
created a tall display case which houses a number of ceramic sculptures. this case makes reference to the
display of ornamental objects and also refers to the psyche, ‘signifying different states of mind’ through
the objects. the materiality of these unsettling characters attempts to signify their ‘imagined social
awkwardness and physical fragility’.
