Following her education in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, Alice Nikitinová started making playful paintings of ordinary urban scenes with a keen interest in Kazimir Malevich’s geometric abstraction and his ways of dealing with the formal elements of painting, such as line, shape, and colour. Nikitinová focuses on the relationship between the object and its rendering in painting to address the borders between figurative representation and abstraction. The artist depicts a single object in its entirety or at close range in the centre of a canvas by abstracting it from its surroundings. She explores the inherent beauty and banality of objects in pure colour, and reduces their form to abstract compositions assembled through shapes and proportions. By playing with the formal aspects of the medium, she mostly paints everyday objects, such as lamps, traffic signs, gloves, rubbish bins, postboxes, brooms or toilet paper in their simplest form. In her paintings, Nikitinová focuses on the objects’ simple formal qualities.
