Věra Janoušková is one of the artists whose material experiments are typical. In the mid-1960s, she found the waste material, which was degraded enamel products. It became the supporting element of her further work. She preserved the color of these products and used it as a means of expression. White forms an essential part of the creation and reflects both the neoclassical vision of the world and contrasts with the robust and heavy metal and welds. White ruffled shirts are an imaginary counterpart to the work of the sixties. It is precisely the artistic effect of the plastic work in white that he further applies in experiments with ash cement. "I was happy that things that served people and that they threw away, I bring back to life as a metaphor. Which was such a positive return. I made busts out of the sink."
