Klára Sedlo (born April 16, 1993 Prague) is a Czech academic painter.

Life

Klára Sedlo is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, Prague. She studied painting at Michael Rittstein's studio (2014 - 2018) and continued at Jiří Petrbok's studio (2018–2020). Sedlo finished her studies with a master's thesis called Rituals, obtaining a Master of Fine Arts degree (MgA.). She lives and creates in Prague.^[1]

Characterization of work

She finds her biggest inspiration in figurative analytical symbolism. She revels in dark wooden rooms of old cottages, magical rituals, and all absurd and kitschy bizarre things that are out of the norm. She pinpoints the true essence of things and masterfully plays with exaggeration even in serious matters. (...) In her work, Klára Sedlo emphasizes the feminist level in its pure form - the woman as a symbol of animalistic energy, but also of fragility and vulnerability. Paintings dealing with the toxicity of partner relationships or a rebellious view of consumerism. Wit, insight, and detachment.
— PhDr. Renata Mužíková, PhD., curator

Work

She works mainly with oil painting and classical two-dimensional painting. However, she also slips beyond her scope into writing books and short stories, in which she develops her themes further (for example, the comic book Make a Wish, 2020). Her work is peripherally linked to happenings at "Live Painting" events, such as Colours of Ostrava in 2019 or the Vanguard Prague event (also in 2019), when she created a mural on the House of Fashion at Wenceslas Square in Prague.

Sedlo has been actively exhibiting since her student years. She has had more than 40 solo exhibitions and an equal number of group exhibitions. Her works have been displayed in the Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Slovakia, United Kingdom and USA. In 2019, she was among the finalists of the Berlin BBA Artist Prize and the same year among the finalists of MostynOpen21 in Mostyn Gallery, Wales. Sedlo is represented in over 100 private collections in Australia, Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia and USA. In 2022, she published her short story called Lami. ^[2] She also illustrates books.^[3]

Her most common themes include objects reflecting contemporary kitsch, bizarre objects, folklore and rituals (as well as their psychology). In her master's thesis, she worked on the topic of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Based on a fragment of reality, she creates new stories and fabricated absurd legends (such as "The Legend of Bugsy the Evil"), which she transfers to her canvases. Since 2019, she has also been working on the Voynich Manuscript. This series of paintings has been presented in two solo exhibitions throughout the year 2020 (Czech Business Club a Barley Gallery).
