Viliam Slaminka likes to humorously comment on current social issues or gender stereotypes and playfully combine them with elements of pop culture. Distinctive colorfulness, stylization and playing with meanings are typical for his paintings and objects. Individual paintings often serve as props of resulting theatrical scenes, whose meaning changes with every change of installation and context.
Fascination by the children’s world is manifested in his innovative approach to spacial objects, where he plays with childish ease with the readymade principle, experiments with materials and recycles almost everything that comes to his hands. He makes good use of his pedagogical experience in his participative projects, in which he lets the audience itself create through play.
