Fusion Jana Šárová

Fusion is a catalogue for the exhibition of the same name by Jana Šárová.

It is difficult to find a more apt description for the work of Jana Šárová than fusion. Although it is a word that came into English from Latin and is often heard today in connection with business or cuisine, as a principle it transcends those spheres and can be applied to almost any field, including visual art. in the case of this artist, it is fitting mainly because it captures both the inspirational and formal essence of her paintings. On the one hand, the images are closely linked to her personal life - a combination of what surrounds her, what she has experienced, and what she thinks about and feels. On the other hand, they are a distinctive synthesis of various visualinfluences from which she draws upon both consciously and intuitively. These influences assert themselves in the final image in a variable ration, dynamics and mutual relationship. Of course, the two principles overlap as paired contentual and optical aspects of her work, and it is only through their coalescence - a kind of fusion of fusions - that the full-fledged quality of the image emerges.
