Painting

Records, notes, abbreviations, signs – these are the synonyms to describe the works by Denisa Lehocka who, by means of a daily recurring ritual, chronicles the uniqueness of each day. Her drawings, paintings and objects replacing which are incapable of conveying the full message fill the selected location through the presence of memory. […]. In her installations or in her paintings, Denisa Lehocka makes numerous references to her personal life, to her emotions and to the objects of her daily life. Her work on the immaterial, memory or reminiscences borrow certain codes from conceptual art while staying clearly in the movement of the “return to painting” observed at the beginning of the 2000s.
