THE JAN ŠVANKMAJER COLLECTION
I recently visited Brighton University and took a look at their exhibition space where Švankmajer’s work was being shown. The first thing I noticed about his work was it’s creepy, reality detached appearance, which left me feeling slightly unsettled. However, as I looked closer, it became something more expressive, of his peculiarity and imagination. These creatures he made from physical components of differing animals are fantastical. The exhibitions exploration of his work was delightfully, creatively liberating.
