NATALIA BORČIĆ
Travel Guardians
Karas Gallery
April 17 – April 29, 2018

 

Opening of the exhibition: Tuesday, April 17 at 7pm at the Karas Gallery

Exhibition Travel Guardians, by Natalia Borčić will be opened on Tuesday, April 17 at 7pm at the Karas Gallery (Zvonimirova 58).

After the series of paintings “Dodir“ [Touch] and “Samo sa sobom“ [Just with Myself] the series “Čuvari putovanja“ [Travel Guardians] comes as the continuation of the previous ones, but also as a change and shift in the focus of the painter Natalija Borčić. All of these series are characterized by intimism, painting meditation that establishes a relationship with the outside world manifested in the internal one and corresponds to it, as well as by an individual relationship with colours and the painting surface. Borčić relates her painting motifs: the nude and antique coins, as well as amphorae that are not exhibited on this occasion, with travel. Although one could assume that travel, represented with a human body, is primarily physical in nature, it is closely related to essentially more important emotional and spiritual knowledge, which the painter visually represented with her own nude, a theme present in her previous series as well. (…)

The nude, or the body and money, are the motifs that the artist unites in the role of “guardians of the energy of life“. View of the body is the view of “guardian of the soul“. (…)
