LIDIJA DELIC
SUNSET JOURNEYS
curated by Marta Cereda
Opening Thursday 23rd March 2017, h. 6.30 p.m.
24th March – 12th May 2017
CIRCOLOQUADRO arte contemporanea is pleased to present Sunset Journeys, the first Italian solo show of Lidija Delic, curated by Marta Cereda, which will be inaugurated on Thursday 23rd March 2017.
The young artist, who currently lives and works in Belgrade, will be presenting her latest project in Milan: a series of paintings focusing on the idea of sunset as synthetic and symbolic representation of travelling, memory and flow of time.
The apparently banal subject of the works is on one hand emphasized through repetition and redundancy, while on the other hand is cancelled thanks to a painting technique that requires ability to wait and leads to outcomes never exactly the same.
Large size papers and an installation to highlight the subjective nature of time and the evanescence of memory, while the subject reminds of en plein air landscape painting as well as exotic landscapes’ postcards, collected and admired by the artist.
The new location of CIRCOLOQUADRO arte contemporanea, with a large window facing Corso Buenos Aires, establishes a relationship with the project, introducing a new key of interpretation: the flow of real time, that gradually illuminates the exposed artwork and then darkens it naturally.
