Small Soft Form 1 & 3, Dyptich. From Soft forms series, 2016

Bosiljka Zirojevic Lecic  

A study in restraint and precision. This diptych explores the delicate tension between internal and external space. Deep charcoal tones dominate the surface. A matte finish absorbs light to create a dense atmosphere. Sharp lines carve the void. These pale incisions suggest folded paper or architectural fissures. The geometric composition feels calculated yet organic. Each stroke defines a boundary. The interaction between the two panels creates a rhythmic dialogue of form. It is a meditation on subtraction and structure. The artist applies a disciplined approach to abstraction. She draws from an extensive academic background in visual media to challenge perception. Softness meets rigidity in a seamless balance. The artwork evokes a sense of quietude and introspection. Linear elements guide the eye across a dark landscape. This piece captures the intersection of urban geometry and spiritual silence. The composition concludes with a singular, precise edge.

The dominant material used in the work is textile - indastrial fabric, which in the very process of creation becomes the material that "makes" the image, that is, translates it into an object. By using textile as a building element, the material itself becomes the primary surface of the object - representation, with certain specificities and qualities - softness, elasticity, tactility... The very organization of the space of the image - object is dominated by geometric shapes, which are marked by joints (seams) and which fit together. In some places the joints are subtle and slightly indicated, and in some works they are robust and emphasized - thus creating a relief drawing that emerges from the surface into space. The softness of the material itself, which makes up the image and builds the composition, is contrasted with the hardness of the linear system of the drawing, which appears as a network of lines with certain dynamics. The basic premise of her artistic expression over a long period refers to the need for constant experimentation with the very construct of the painting and the material from which it is made. Within the established system of geometric, reduced forms that make up her artistic language, the surface of the painting and its pictorial value impose themselves as another field of action and possibility for expression. Positioning the material as a building element of the painting provides the opportunity to work and explore within an expanded field, where the characteristic properties of the materials used offer potential for the development of a specific artistic expression.
