Her sculptures and drawings have a deeply personal formal language, but they are also shaped by the myths and fairy tales we all carry with us and share. The figures have childlike features while possessing a dark sense of humor. A recurring figure is the young woman, situated in the borderland between childhood and adulthood. Klara Kristalova embraces a clich\u00e9 of \u201cthe Nordic\u201d\u2014with deep forests and a fantastical, mysterious plant and animal life\u2014yet she fills this clich\u00e9 with new, contemporary stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her exhibition at Bonniers Konsthall, Klara Kristalova presents a mix of large-scale and small sculptures, several made specifically for the exhibition. She also shows drawings, sketches, and her first animated work. A new catalogue is being published in conjunction with the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

If there is a central motif in Klara Kristalova\u2019s charged, melancholic, and darkly humorous sculptures, it is certainly the human head. A body part (\u2026) where thoughts are born, dreams are dreamed, and secrets are kept and protected.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
