Pavlína Kvita
Elements by Pavlína Kvita - Large contemporary sculpture, unique work, pastel

2020

About the Item

Elements is a unique acrystal, oak wood and iron sculpture by contemporary artist Pavlína Kvita, dimensions including the plinth are 140 × 90 × 80 cm (55.1 × 35.4 × 31.5 in). The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The four elements of nature — white for air, blue like waves for water, brown for earth, and a flame shape for fire — are represented by the colours and shapes in this piece, as the title suggests. The equal positions of the four elements on a circle base allude to the endless cycles of nature. Acrystal, a material composed of natural mineral crystals and aqueous acrylic resins, was used to create the four elements. The mysterious figures with forms that are both archaic and futuristic emerge in the sculptures of Czech artist Pavlína Kvita as a result of her exploration of her inner world. These anthropomorphic or zoomorphic beings, silent entities existing outside of time, dominate space with a combination of strength and balance that is given to them by their dynamic, streamlined, and abstracting lines. The sculptures created by Pavlína Kvita are the end result of the artist manipulating shapes and their endless possibilities in a circular process of creation/transformation/destruction.

Constructing immersive installations, he engages with and re-imagines canonical imagery through contemporary technology. Landscape painting, classical sculpture and iconography are some of the historical aesthetics that serve as a point of departure for Quayola’s hybrid compositions. His varied practice, all deriving from custom computer software, also includes audiovisual performance, immersive video installations, sculpture, and works on paper. His work has been performed and exhibited in many prestigious institutions worldwide including V&A Museum, London; Park Avenue Armory, New York; National Art Center, Tokyo; UCCA, Beijing; How Art Museum, Shanghai; SeMA, Seoul; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Ars Electronica, Linz; Sonar Festival, Barcelona and Sundance Film Festival.
