Jolana Ruchařová, born 1972, studied art education in the Pe-dagogical Faculty at Charles University. She’s attended the Fine Arts Academy (AVU) since 1996 in Professor Michael Bie-lický’s New Media Studio (and previously in the Visual Commu-nications Studio with Professor Jiří David).

The colors of Jolana Ruchařová’s paintings are just as vivid as their themes. For example, each painting in the Four Roses series from 1998-1999 portrays four women in various situations: female cellmates in a US prison, exhausted female soldiers, female athletes who have just finished a 400-yard run, a group of strangely sinister girlfriends.
After four years of studying painting, she is now attempting to break into the world of new media using computer graphics and video. Her interest in these techniques is reflected back in her painting. Some of her pictures look as if she’s been playing with a computer, running the images through various digital effects. Other times she exploits the interactive tools offered by computer games and the Internet to alter reality to her own liking using control panels.

Our criteria did not…

There is nothing that has not already been done in culture, squeezed or pulled inside out, blown to dust. Classical culture today is made by scum. Those working in the fine arts who make paintings are called artists. Otherwise in the backwaters and marshlands the rest of the artists are lost in search of new and ever surprising methods. They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…
An unsuccessful co-production An unsuccessful co-production
If you know your way around, you might discover that every month and maybe even every week you stand the chance to receive money for your cultural project. Successful applicants have enough money, average applicants have enough to keep their mouths shut, and the unsuccessful ones are kept in check by the chance that they might get lucky in the future. One natural result has been the emergence of…
