Veronika Pausova’s paintings are recognisable by their disembodied hands, ears and pointing fingers, which are rendered over the top of flat expanses of bright colour, casting shadows to simultaneously show their distance and proximity to the paintings, while actively listening or reaching out to grasp them. One questions the owner of the limbs; are they the artist’s, the viewer’s or a stranger’s? Even singular digits convey an expression like dextrous finger puppets. The body parts lend the pictures a certain dynamism; while the backdrops are stage-like and ever-present even though they are always boldly different, the body gestures are overlayed, in motion and dramatic.
