In her drawings, objects, and installations, Kateřina Vincourová brings together everything that interests her,
including the exhibition space. She responds to it subtly and yet with great precision, gently disrupting order to
draw attention to detail, to the ephemeral, to aspects that are usually overlooked. Her artistic expression is characterised by a non-standard use of common materials associated with the human body and everyday life: in her installations, they evoke corporeality through physical memory and work with negative space, which not only has a formal function, but also becomes an active field of meaning. Emptiness, gaps, and absence channel the artist’s message – they turn into spaces for projection, expectation, and internal tension. This approach is particularly evident in Vincourová’s spatial drawings, in which objects expand into their environment not as dominant elements but as open structures. Through her lived practice, the artist accentuates the tension between subjective individual introspection and mediated cultural and social patterns. This opens up space for critical examination of the “architecture of relationships” – structures that are not only physical, but above all relational, symbolic, and ideological. Her installations thus reflect the processes through which identity is formed and transformed within a dynamic interaction between personal patterns and social narratives, creating a space for sharing where memory and emotional sensations merge with collective experience.
