Ivana Bajec
Forget, Forgot, Forgotten
We are pleased to present Forget, Forgot, Forgotten, a solo exhibition by Ljubljana based artist Ivana Bajec, for the second edition of NADA Villa Warsaw. This exhibition explores Bajec’s engagement with the digital age, where internet culture and social media serve as the foundation of her artistic expression. A crucial aspect of the show is its reflection on mental health, a recurring theme in Bajec’s work, offering a compelling commentary on the psychological impact of our hyper-connected world.
In a world where the pace of life accelerates endlessly and digital dissonance drowns our inner voices, Ivana Bajec’s art emerges as a sanctuary – a refuge for the viewer to pause, reflect, and find solace in experience. Within this intricate tapestry of our interconnected world, the boundaries between the virtual and tangible blur. The online realm infiltrates our daily lives, creating a dynamic landscape where Bajec’s works come to life, pulsating with vibrant energy and depth.
Central to the works of the Ljubljana-based artist is a celebration of the digital zeitgeist, where internet and social media phenomena become building blocks of artistic expression. Yet, amidst the expressive juxtaposition of symbols, abstract and figurative elements, a deeper narrative unfolds – one that speaks to the complexities of mental well-being in the digital age. Through a balance of humor and introspection, Bajec tackles the anxieties and pressures deeply rooted in our hyper-connected society, offering a moving reflection on the human condition.
At the heart of Bajec’s work lies a profound exploration of mental health – a thread running through every composition. Despite often being shrouded in stigma and silence, Bajec addresses the topic with compassion and empathy. She confronts the complexities of the human experience, offering glimpses into hidden spaces within one’s being. Each painting becomes a mirror, reflecting joys and sorrows, hopes and fears shaping our inner landscape. Forget, Forgot, Forgotten is not merely a title; it is a mantra – a call to embrace the transient nature of memory and the enigmatic depths of the human psyche. Through evocative brushstrokes and subtle symbolism, Bajec invites us on a journey of remembrance and release, where the boundaries between past and present blur into a kaleidoscope of sensation.
