Alice Máselníková (b. 1989, Zlín, Czech Republic) is a visual artist based in Edsbruk, Småland, Sweden. She works predominantly in oil paint, watercolour, and charcoal. With thin and translucent layers of colour she creates dreamlike images of mythologically inspired motifs: grotesque figures and elusive creatures, a metamorphosis between human and animal, that merge with the nature surrounding them. Her works carry traces of classical inspiration with references to medieval art and symbolism linked to flowers, plants and trees. In the muted palette of her works we find ourselves in a strange melancholic world, where the bizarre, beautiful and ambivalent intertwine.
Máselníková holds a BA in Fine Art and Philosophy from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee, Scotland, and an MA in Curating Art from Stockholm University. She has also studied at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain, and took a course at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Her work has previously been shown at Krognoshuset in Lund, Liljevalchs and Berg Gallery in Stockholm, Gallery of Fine Art in Náchod, Czech Republic, Köttinspektionen in Uppsala, Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles and Altán Klamovka in Prague, among others. She collaborates with Berg gallery in Stockholm and WWW Contemporary. In addition to painting, she writes poetry and works as a curator, editor and consultant in cultural funding. She is creative director of the art fair Supermarket, co-founder of Artist-Run Network Europe and founder of the artist-run collective Flat Octopus. |
