Contemplation

paintings, drawings, objects

Pavilion in Tvrđava

November 19 – December 10

Fifteen years of continuous presence on the domestic art scene and evident lexical, thematic and programmatic analogies and dichotomies in artistic work are the reasons for organizing a small retrospective exhibition of paintings, drawings and objects by Anđela Mujčić. Curiously, through the so-called small themes and humor, Anđela Mujčić first led her artistic work along the path of light nostalgia, and with a sense of the lovely and the likeable, then brought it to the field of social relations and latent activism, only to enter the field of spirituality and self-knowledge with her artistic maturation. We follow this developmental line through five cycles of works, a selection of which makes up the current exhibition “Contemplation”. These are: “Eternal Game” (2008-2016), “Happy Place” (2016), “Women’s Work” (2017-2024), “The Dream of a Funny Man” (2021-2022) and “Mother” (2024).

Anđela Mujčić was born in 1981 in Niš. She graduated in painting from the Faculty of Arts in Niš, specialized at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, and received her doctorate from the Faculty of Art and Design in Belgrade. She is an assistant professor at the Department of Fine Arts at the Faculty of Arts in Kosovska Mitrovica, University of Priština.
