Vesna Bukovec, from the series There is no society without spectacle, 2011

Avtorica bo na pregledni razstavi predstavila svojo novejšo produkcijo na področju risbe. V njih na kritično-humoren način obravnava potrošništvo, pozitivno psihologijo, kulturo samopomoči, grajenje lastne podobe in identitete ter vlogo ženske v sodobni družbi. Motive povzema po fotografijah s svetovnega spleta, ki jih transformira v drug medij. Avtorica pred likovnim izrazom v ospredje postavlja sporočilnost, ki jo večkrat podpre tudi z vključenim besedilom. Serije njenih risb so tako kolaž citiranih podob in izjav, prek katerih podaja svoj komentar na sodobno družbo.

Already since her first drawings for the public, Vesna Bukovec has been faithful to simple lines. Without shading or the illusion of space, she creates images full of meaning. Although they can be conceptual, they are an aesthetic whole, with no need for a special context. She chooses the motives from the media world of the Internet, television, popular magazines, which we can also see in her videos. She especially deals with themes relating to the consumer society of instant gratification and to some of the frustrations which life in this society provokes in the individual. The drawings are full of humour and also realistically brutal. They appear as a mirror of society, tilted in such a way that it highlights specific characteristics, specific relations.
