Lucia Tallová
Lucia Tallová (b.1985, Slovakia) works across painting, collage, object, and installation. Her practice revolves around memory, forgetting, and the passage of time, tracing their effects on the human body and experience. Human figures and architectural forms intertwine in shifting scales, evoking fragility, collapse, and transformation. Tallová often turns to the female body as both subject and site of memory, layering historical images with personal interventions to question stereotypes and expectations. Viewers encounter wooden structures, platforms, and barriers that suggest ruins or remnants of architecture, moving through spaces that reflect the instability and persistence of memory.
Lucia Tallová lives and works in Bratislava. She completed her BA and MA in the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. Her recent solo exhibitions include Unstable Monuments (Kunsthalle Bratislava, 2024), Atlas of Memory (Jecza Gallery, Timișoara, 2023), and Fragility of Caryatid (SODA Gallery, Bratislava, 2022). Selected group exhibitions include Memory and Metaphor (National Gallery Prague, 2025), Rising Waters, Radiating Lights (Zilberman Istanbul, 2024), 16th Biennale de Lyon: Manifesto of Fragility (Lyon, 2022), and Lost Futures (Kunsthaus Graz, 2023). Selected residencies and awards include Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris, 2020), Artist in Residence at Karla Osorio Gallery (Brasília, 2019), Headlands Center for the Arts (Sausalito, California, 2018), NOVUM Foundation Art Award (2021), and Tatra Bank Foundation Art Award for Young Visual Artists (2016).
