Suzana Brborović

Bridge countries-Intersection

2018, acrylic and ink on canvas, 140 x 280 cm

In her paintings, Suzana Brborović focuses on architecture not just a visually attractive motif, but as an immensely complex realm in terms of its social, economic, symbolic, historical, and political dimensions. In her images, which are marked by an easily recognizable, refined and precise aesthetic, Brborović layers motifs to the point of saturation, speaking in this way about a variety of social and cultural phenomena and their problematic ideological, political and economic structure (e.g. decaying architectural landscapes in societies in transition, defensive architecture, property developments eating away at social housing, etc.). Her latest series, Bridges, looks at the bridge as a key infrastructural element enabling communication, connection and mobility, fixing in this way in painting an iconography of highly current reality.

Suzana Brborović graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana in 2013, and in 2014 enrolled in the postgraduate program at the Academy of Visual Art in Leipzig, where she now lives and works. Her work is included in the collections of the Essl Museum and the Božidar Jakac Gallery. Over the past years, her art has also been featured in several solo and group shows. Her more prominent solo shows include Saturation Limit at the Alkatraz Gallery, Distortion at the Meduza Gallery, and Reflected Shift at the Bežigrad Gallery 1. Web: https://suzanabrborovic.eu/
