Label Text:The mystery of the theatre serves as a metaphor for the universal mysteries of life in the art of Dana Zámečníková. She uses plate glass as a “canvas” for painted images, executed in oil rather than the more time-consuming and more traditional process of enameling. She overlays her enigmatic images to communicate complex layers of meaning and visual effects, adding metaphorical and actual depth to her work. As Zámečníková explains, “the layers of glass I use are layers of events I experience.”
