Natasha Zupan's body of work, 'Homage to Horst P. Horst', explores the manipulation of surface texture, light, and the interweaving of time. She has incorporated found images in books from Horst P. Horst into her collages. Time past and time future are united in a perpetual possibility of change. She tries to capture the resonances of evolution in various types of representation. It is not about translating a world that already exists, but about an entrance into a different universe. A timeless, tactile world of sensation and overlapping memory. Materials and emotions converge: The surface holds synthetic binders consisting mainly of layers of inks, acrylics, watercolors, pigments, photographs from books and digital images. These are imbued with altered states of feelings and archetypal references. Combining Renaissance hues and chiaroscuro with modern collage and media
This artwork presents a striking blend of monochrome photography and vibrant painting, creating a thought-provoking juxtaposition that captures the viewer’s attention. Dominating the piece is an intricate portrait of a figure rendered in bold blue tones. The striking use of blue adds depth, evoking a sense of introspection and mystery. Overlaying a classical architectural backdrop, the figure appears contemplative, seemingly lost in thought or perhaps entranced by the environment. The architectural elements in the background are detailed yet muted, allowing the vividness of the central figure to command focus. A unique aspect of the artwork is the fusion of realism with abstract expressionism. Splashes and drips of paint disrupt the serene composition, injecting a dynamic energy that contrasts with the figure's calm demeanor. The artist’s choice to integrate an eye within the forehead of the figure adds a surreal element, suggesting themes of perception and insight. Overall, the piece is an exploration of the intersection between the inner self and the external world, cunningly engaging audiences to ponder the narrative behind the layers. The distinctive blend of photographic detail and expressive painting cements this piece as both captivating and thought-provoking, encouraging a deeper connection and interpretation from its observers.
