'Anna Hulačová’s strange objects are leaky with the surreal. A
four-legged table and an oversized skateboard are inlaid with glossy
marquetry, crawling with anemones and amoebas. On top, concrete
sculptures of writhing tentacles, one side cleaved flat like a node of
quartz, a polished surface onto which the overlapped faces of two women
are drawn in monochrome, holding a daisy collectively between their
lips. The Czech artist’s sculptures are full of these jumps, from real
to imaginary, from thing to image, from solidity to sensuality; as if
carving and cutting dead matter might reveal a secret inner life - inert
stuff made paradoxically organic and alive.'
