Anja Jerčič Jakob: Rašice, Near Sava
MMC KIBLA / KiBela
exhibition opening on Friday, 15 February 2019, at 7 p. m.

Nature is Anja's art. Nature is (also) society. The awareness and consciousness, that we are. Connected. Flora and fauna. The faun, a mythological creature, half-man, half-goat. A satyr, the deity of mountains and forests in Greek mythology, accompanying the god Dionysius. A symbol of fertility. And movement. Half-human and half-nature. Flowers, leaves, stems, trunks, trees, treetops are animals, which don't have to be walked, but we can talk to them. Listen. Hear. Find out. They can manage without us. It doesn't matter, where they are, because they are. They will be.

ABOUT EXHIBITION (PDF)

Nature, untamable and wild, luscious and humble, solitary and united, is existence. Like a rampage without knowledge or purpose. A dance of the colors of thought and a song of the strokes of perception. Sensation. In the painting and through the painting. Being and essence. Here and there. We feel. We grow.

Anja Jerčič Jakob was born in Slovenj Gradec. She grew up in Velenje, and later obtained her BA (2000) in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana, as well as her MFA in graphic arts (2004) and painting (2007). Occasionally, she works as a book illustrator for children's books. She lives and works in Ljubljana.

The exhibition will be showing until 16 March 2019.
