The Stolen Gallery: Zewi

The Stolen Gallery is an experimental street art project whose initial idea was born in Český Krumlov. It enables people to encounter art right in the streets, outside the official prede­termined venues. Although exhibitions in public areas bring the risk of damage or theft to the artwork, such “stealing” is an acceptable price for free culture that we can share with other people. The Stolen Gallery has been taking place in Banská Štiavnica since 2011.

Veronika Chocholová, known as Zewi, will represent BEGINNING in the form of recycle-art. Recycling of something useless is a continuation and a new beginning. This time, useless pieces of laminate flooring will be given a new chance. Zewi studied aesthetics and ethics at FFPU in Prešov. She currently lives in Banská Štiavnica and for several years has been doing art-therapy. She paints on wood, glass and textile. She also designs and paints dresses by the brand CHOCHO. In her work we can often see trees in different forms because they are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for her.
