The pop-up exhibition Post-Residency was created as a spontaneous response to the response from social media, where interest was shown in the works of both artists, which they created during January and early February in the Ateliers of the Galerie Pekelné Sáně. With a deep immersion in the work of art and each in their own right, the two artists, side by side, created works without concept or exhibition intention that present this unplanned short-term exhibition venture. 

Karolína Šulcová (*1997) has completed several internships and residencies, some of them abroad. She has had a number of exhibitions and in 2023 she was a finalist for the Critics' Prize for Young Painting. Karolina Šulcová's paintings are based on the New Materiality movement, but also draw heavily on the lessons of classical modernism. In contrast to age, the unexpectedly mature handwriting creates works of often larger format. She works with light, playing out its play in the reflections of the chestnut branches on the facade of the house, connecting the coloured surfaces and bringing harmony to them. Her canvases capture the deep essence of home, peace and retreat. The slow passage of time that hovers in the hayloft and in the nooks and crannies of the garden of the adjacent house. The view of her works is soothing, it looks like a removal from a world that is already alien to most of us today. 

Tereza Šrámková graduated from the Václav Hollar Academy of Fine Arts before studying at the Academy of Fine Arts. Her sculptural works and installations reflect the dream world, capturing the fragility of reality and archetypal elements of our ancient past. She works mainly with concrete, porcelain and found materials, which she combines with classical graphic techniques. She has received an award in the student category of Graphics of the Year 2019. She has had a number of solo and group exhibitions and internships abroad. With an artistic sensibility, she creates small sculptures in concrete, porcelain and wire. She draws on ancient mythology, but also occasionally returns to earlier inspiration from the Egyptian visual tradition. Environmental themes are also reflected in the subjects. Empathy and respect for nature are embodied by animal figures captured in their own majesty, rendered using highly delicate handwriting.
