Nikola Brabcová is a visual artist whose work involves layering images and creating installations in which the relationships between subjects are more important than the individual artefacts. The motifs are mostly shapes based on nature which disintegrate into abstract forms and new situations. She is a core part of the collective Artyčok.tv, for which she creates video interviews with artists and curators. The latest project, ‘Erosion’, which is part of the online exhibition Regeneration, deals with soil as a living entity, its current state and ecological restoration.
