About the work

Paranoia

The works by Anna Langová usually capture moments from everyday life – meeting friends, walking a dog, a trip, partying; simply situations when the artist feels peaceful, happy and free from problems, fear and insecurity. The central subject, which may not always be apparent at first glance, is love that is present in everything. The motifs of Langová’s drawings are inspired by her personal experiences, and the results thus often resemble diary entries. The inspiration for her paintings is her mainstay – drawings. She primarily tries to capture the atmosphere experienced by the characters in the pictures.

Langová turned to painting as late as in the second year at the Academy during her internship in the Painting 3 studio, where she later transferred. She employs natural tie-and-dye technique, acrylic paint, and Chinese and regular inks, which she dilutes and lets seep one into another. Classic canvas was replaced by old fabrics sewn to the required dimensions. Her works combine trash aesthetics and genuine installation. The latter helps the captured atmosphere get out of the paintings and thus completely engulf the viewer.
