Artist’s portrait
We are pleased to announce the representation of Beata Hechtová.
Beáta Hechtová (b. 1991, Prague, Czech Republic) is an artist living and working in Vienna. She graduated from the University of Applied Arts Vienna in 2020. Hechtová develops speculative visions of an uncertain future, where utopian and dystopian conditions exist side by side. Enigmatic landscapes are inhabited by peculiar creatures and post-human figures. These faceless and often transparent beings are in a constant state of transformation, adapting to altered environments and searching for new forms of community, meaning and spirituality.
selected works
Nature is worshipped and celebrated, yet remains filled with tension and melancholy. By inventing rituals, myths and belief systems, Hechtová explores how societies reshape their values and identities in response to change. She refers to this approach as “futuristic folklore.”
Selected presentations include Touch Nature at Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, Subterranea at la BEAST gallery in Los Angeles, New Translation II at East Slovak Gallery in Košice. In 2025, Beata Hechtová received the Critics' Award for Young Painting, one of the most prestigious accolades for emerging painters in the Czech Republic.
Our first comprehensive collaboration with the artist will be a presentation at Untitled Art, Miami Beach, December 2—5.
