His Helmet

The helmet protects the crown of the manhood from injury. It will ensure that the "breadwinner" returns home safely. In the morning, the helmet must always be in its place!

In the works of Lucie Tkáčová and Anetta Mona Chişa, the relationship between the artist and his muse is reversed, and in this case, HE becomes the muse. 

With a healthy dose of sarcasm, female artists adore men's personal objects. Using a "typically feminine" technique of crocheting, they envelop and appropriate these objects along with their owner, shrouding them in a net of no escape.

The committed work of a tandem of female artists often explores and subverts gender stereotypes with the help of irony, self-irony and provocation. They show how society instills into us what typically male and female characteristics, objects and patterns of behavior are. Their humor often effectively "strikes home".
