The figurative sculptures of Anna Hulačová (*1984) combine influences of Surrealism, Soviet Brutalism, and Czech folk art to form a distinctive cosmos of their own.
As part of the Czech Guest of Honour program at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT presents the artist’s first solo exhibition in Germany.
Having grown up on a farm, Hulačová draws her art from a deep connection with plants and animals. She explores the relationship between humans and nature from an ecofeminist perspective. Her works address the loss of biodiversity, the decline of insects, and the consequences of industrial agriculture. The bee becomes a central metaphor—and co‑producer—symbolizing collective labor, ecological crisis, and mystical immortality. In collaboration with her own bee colonies, she creates hybrid beings and faceless science‑fiction figures in which concrete and honeycomb, the organic and the technoid, nature and machine merge. Hulačová’s utopian‑apocalyptic visions are imbued with concern for the future of our environment and at the same time infused with poetic imagination.
