Nataša Mirtič: Etchings

08. 05. 2015 – 07. 06. 2015

Nataša Mirtič sees printmaking as an autonomous means of expression that differs specifically from other artistic media and allows special formal and aesthetic effects. Her understanding of printmaking is based on the assumption of the “purity” of the medium, which emphasises its essential structural and textural qualities. Her printmaking practice is characterised by a subtle study of the relationships between artistic elements, and she complements formal emphases with the associativeness of artistic symbols. In the prints from the Grafika series, the artist Mirtič respectfully interprets printmaking tradition, pointing openly to the references that inspire her, but at the same time draws on contemporary consumer culture in her choice of subject-matter. In this way she creates formally pure and semantically rich works of art that combine elements of high modernism with newly interpreted tradition.
