{"id":48,"count":2,"description":"Veronika Pausova\u2019s oil paintings are theatrical assemblages played out by a cast of unexpected characters: lacquered fruit flies and spiders, powdery moths, drooping flowers, disembodied toes, fingers, and ears. Funny and captivating, the unique actors populating her paintings are each rendered with exceptional skill and control, as she combines hyper-realistic precision with experimental paint applications like soaking the canvas with imbibed sponges and fabric. Pulling and leaping across the canvases, Pausova\u2019s human and non-human entities are united by trajectories of their own making\u2014hands grasping their own frame, gangly legs galloping away, a nipple held onto the canvas with but a thread\u2014which together illustrate an ensnaring story unfolding before us. Imbued with humour and playfulness, Pausova\u2019s painterly lexicon is both alluring and perplexing, and seemingly in perpetual metamorphosis across a cosmos of possible states, places, and times. Pausova ultimately creates graphic paintings that marry nonsense and narrative, offsetting her skill and precision with her sense of humour to create surreal compositions that are uniquely hers.\r\n\r\nVeronika Pausova currently lives and works in Montreal, Canada. She received her BFA from Glasgow School of Art in 2009 and her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2013. She has presented solo and two-person exhibitions at the Esker Foundation (Calgary), Bradley Ertaskiran (Montreal), Public Gallery (London), The Sunday Painter (London), and Simone Subal (New York), among others. Notable group exhibitions include the Remai Modern (Saskatoon), Main Projects (Richmond), Lin &amp; Lin Gallery (Taipei), Perrotin (Paris), Oakville Galleries, Andrehn Schiptjenko (Stockholm), and Bureau (New York). Her work is included in private and public collections such as the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Xiao Museum of Contemporary Art (Rizhao). She has been featured in Art in America, Canadian Art, and The New Yorker, and her work is the subject of Fast Moving Sun, a monograph published in collaboration with the Esker Foundation.","link":"https:\/\/bradleyertaskiran.com\/en\/artists\/veronika-pausova-en\/","name":"Veronika Pausova","slug":"veronika-pausova-en","taxonomy":"artists","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Veronika Pausova: Work, Biography &amp; Press - Bradley Ertaskiran<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bradley Ertaskiran represents the work of Veronika Pausova, a Toronto-based artist.
