In the Czech Republic, mushroom picking is an important part of the culture, bordering on passion with...
The picture is a dream of mushroom picking, a girl's delicate hand touching a mushroom in an almost erotic way. The colours establish a sense of intimacy.
In her series Pieces of You, Linda Glanc expresses a world in which she combines physicality with elements of flora, creating a complex mosaic of intimacy and sensuality. The beauty of the human form is celebrated in its naturalness, but is also linked to organic motifs. This fusion dictates a raw, yet poetic, dialogue. Plants and fungi in conflict and in symbiosis with the body. Unexpected incursions of sexuality and eroticism where we would never look for them. Spores, smells, viscous fluids, microcosm.
The theme of desire is intensified here.
Linda tests the boundaries between reality and fantasy, between the intimate and the universal. The paintings are a story of inner enlightenment or connection. Using metaphors and symbols that draw from the natural world, Linda provokes thoughts about the complex relationship between humans and their environment.
The playfulness of the titles of this series does not only serve as an aesthetic element, but is key to the penetration of the subject matter. Linda depicts diverse forms of human intimacy and relationships, from specific moments and memories to broader, cosmic perspectives.
We live in an infinite dynamic with nature.
But aren't we forgetting her?
