Maja Ruznic describes her works on paper as “portals,” apertures inviting both the artist and the viewer into her fantastical worlds of morphing shapes, chimerical figures, and saturated color. Painted with acrylic-based gouache on raw Khadi paper, these works are an essential part of the artist’s practice: working small at the beginning of each day in the studio allows Ruznic the freedom to summon new images from her unconscious. The first exhibition dedicated solely to this vital component of her oeuvre, Srklet—titled after a Bosnian word that describes a psychological ache or discomfort—presents a selection of works on paper made this year where color and form fuse into investigations of the mystical, the emotional, and the historical.
