Tereza Buskova
Czech artist Tereza Buskova (b.1978, Prague) completed her Fine Art Printmaking MA at the RCA in 2007. Winning awards in the UK, Canada and Estonia, Buskova's work has received international acclaim and in 2008 she was selected from among thousands for the Axis Future50 most impressive emerging artists. She has rapidly established a reputation for bold reinterpretation and celebration of her cultural inheritance. Critics describe how her pieces provoke complex experiences, both ‘rich in exotic imagery’ and ‘confusingly sinister’. Her varied techniques – including film, screen printing and performance – identify her pieces with both improvisation and collaboration, notably with Zoe Simon and Bela Emerson. A collection of her work will be shown at 176 this summer in A Tradition I do Not Mean To Break.

Attired in memories and associates with traditional Czech folklore, the female figures are made dominant by both stature and the covering of the male head. There is a recognisable mythological influence but this is somehow inadvertent. Subsequent to her creations, Buskova often finds similar images, as though her work is driven by universal intuition. She touches something within us all and unconciously draws it out.
