Career
Enamel objects are the most typical things, which Věra Janoušková brought in art At first she connected it by patinated plaster and then by welding of parts of old objects – pots, wash basins, stoves, plates, pipes, buckets, scoops, strainers or cans. She combines different methods – cuts and scissors sheet metal, welds and "stitches", works them by flame, uses opportunities of color contrasts.
She reaches delicate structured expression in compositions of simple shapes, crosses, totems and signs or pathetic figures.
Thrown away objects gain a new function.
