<\/a><\/p>\nOpening of the exhibition on 02nd\u00a0of October at 7pm<\/b><\/p>\n
The works of Roberta Vili\u0107 have developed <\/span>in the context of the appropriation of Art Informel, by emphasizing the materiality of the painting surface, treating the matter as an associative subjective field. Diagrams and traces, signs, cuts, letters,<\/span> emerge from the structure or disappear from it within this rebus of associations.<\/p>\n With this new exhibition,<\/span> Roberta brings a slight change from the usual visual code and her own artistic practice. Her new cycles of works, titled \u201cOdga\u0111anje<\/i><\/span>\u201c (\u201cProcrastination\u201c) and \u201cPravda i ne<\/i>\u201c (\u201cJustice and not\u201c), represent a refined space of the painting, a more complex use of words and sentences, which the author treats as a graphic matrix. The monochrome surface \/ background contains typographic elements, and she also uses the verses from Fernando Pessoa’s poem \u201cProcrastination\u201c, whereas the main content is focused on the meaning of the written text. Media landscape that surrounds us is swamped with various messages and imperatives of everyday life, and by quoting Fernando Pessoa’s poetry, that is, fragments from the poem \u201cProcrastination\u201c, Roberta gives us a reminder in which, in the repetitions of fragmented words, we read \u201cthe day after tomorrow\u201c…<\/p>\n – The day after tomorrow, yes, only the day after tomorrow … On the one hand,<\/span> stylization of typography suggests an impersonal character, mechanical origin of the material; however,<\/span> this intervening hand is the trace of the artist\u2019s presence. Reduced dark-coloured compositions, almost monochrome, address the void, turn the relation between positive and negative upside down, take shape through the conceptualization of methods of reduction and repetition, while in this uniform repetitiveness, rhythm and change are brought by minimal and discrete shifts and graphic contrasts. Along these lines, Iva Korbler notices how \u201cThe layers of the matter we pick up from her paintings \u2013 as well as the latent tendency towards graphic elements of scene design \u2013 suggest a complex understanding and feeling of reality, but also the need to establish order and balance\u201c.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From the preface of Branka Ben\u010di\u0107<\/span><\/p>\n Roberta Vili\u0107 <\/span>was born in 1971.
