Klara Kristalova - Perrotin monograph

"Klara’s figures seem to be entering a nightmare, prisoners of the moment in the dream where the trap is being set: a vase tips over, a scarlet hand emerges from within a bunch of roses, a box full of heads is placed on the ground, water spurts from their mouths or half covers the heads. (...) Because of the subjects, materials, the slightly diminutive size, and the odd predicaments, they could be fairy tale characters. The mushrooms, the gothic moths and the birds all seem to be caught in a spell. Not knowing too much adds to their charm, and in some ways reifies that nebulous word "charm"." - Jeff Rian
