HIDDEN Podcast: Sára Konečná on Her First Solo Show “Heat”

Recorded directly at the exhibition, this episode follows Sára Konečná’s first solo show Heat, selected as Exhibition of the Week by Respekt. The paintings were created within a single month of intense studio work, shaping a body of work that moves between physical sensation and inner psychological states.We talk through her use of color: blue as bodily coldness, orange as a fever pushed to its limit, and brown as an undefined space outside of time. The conversation also traces her references to Mannerism, from the elongated figures of Bronzino to the tension of El Greco, alongside her gradual shift away from perfectionism toward a more intuitive, imperfect approach.The episode closes with Kamil Princ’s philosophical reading of the works: blue as ghosts of the dead, orange as hell, and a quiet reminder of our own mortality.
