Humans are the benchmark
The value of recognisability, the artist’s individuality in art becomes impressively apparent in Tanja Boukal’s current exhibit in the second basement of the Gallery Peithner-Lichtenfels. The young artist skilfully reacts to the unique exhibition space and even integrates the ventilation windows into her work. White plaster busts and babies knit of white wool are found standing, lying, or hanging everywhere in this room. The artist succeeds in giving this space a unique tone, mainly because she not only addresses but very consciously reacts to the given situation.
Her work is involved with basic topics of human life, without being platitudinous or declamatory. The knitted couch blankets, on which sleeping humans are depicted, are a good example of how everyday culture and art flow into each other. One can clearly feel that humans are the highest benchmark – even in the arts.
