Landscape Paintings
Maria Lalić
Exhibition from June 30th to July 30th, 2011
Using a methodical, almost scientific approach the artist has worked for years on her cycles. Over the past 15 years the Gallery has shown, for example, works from the cycles “Metals & Colours” and “History Paintings”. For her new series “Landscape Paintings” the artist has investigated the names of painting colours or pigments – for example, “Paris Blue“ or “English Green” – and referred to a famous landscape painting of the time (here Seurat’s “Bridge of Courbevoie”). From these locations she removed bits of soil, which she ground in her studio to the finest pigment and then used it to paint the bottom part of her new paintings.
