Nika Rupnik

Unsere Artist-in-Residence im Januar ist @rupnika 👋 Nika Rupnik (* 1991) absolvierte ein Studium der Malerei an der Akademie für Bildende Kunst und Design in Ljubljana. Während ihres Studiums vertiefte sie ihre Kenntnisse im Bereich der Grafik an der Winchester School of Art in England. Seit 2017 ist sie als freischaffende Künstlerin tätig und arbeitet zudem als Szenografin, Illustratorin und Designerin. Ihre Arbeiten wurden in mehreren Einzelausstellungen sowie bei zahlreichen Gruppenausstellungen im In- und Ausland teil präsentiert. In ihrer künstlerischen Praxis beschäftigt sie sich mit dem Konzept des Raumes und untersucht die Grenzen zwischen dem Öffentlichen und dem Intimen sowie zwischen dem Vergänglichen und dem Dauerhaften. Sie interessiert sich für die Begriffe Umgebung, Zuhause, Erinnerung und Zeit. Ihre Werke verbinden Zeichnung, Grafik und Lichteffekte auf Medien wie Plexiglas, Papier und Leinwand. Sie lebt und arbeitet in Ljubljana. Naša umetnica v rezidenci v januarju je @rupnika Nika Rupnik (1991) je diplomirala iz slikarstva na Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje v Ljubljani. V času študija je svoje znanje poglabljala na področju grafike na Winchester School of Art v Veliki Britaniji. Od leta 2017 je samozaposlena v kulturi kot slikarka, deluje pa tudi kot scenografka, ilustratorka in oblikovalka. Svoje delo je predstavila na več samostojnih razstavah. Sodelovala je tudi na številnih skupinskih razstavah doma in v tujini. V svojem delu se ukvarja s koncepti prostora, ter raziskuje meje med javnim in intimnim, minljivim in trajnim. Zanima jo pojem okolja, doma in spomina in časa. Njena dela so preplet risb, grafike, ter svetlobnih efektov na medijih kot so pleksi steklo, papir in platno. Živi in dela v Ljubljani. 📸 Gaja Naja Rojec @mzk_rs

In the exhibition Front View, Nika Rupnik presents paintings on canvas, drawings made on plexiglass and prints in which she stems from her reflection on the (in)stability of home, the elusive identity of space and the existential uncertainties of contemporary times. Her visual language is distinctive, constructed from sketch-like drawing strokes, graphic elements and layered application of colour, all of which build up images of dispersed, often uninhabited environments portrayed in her works. The artist is inspired by architectural remnants of urban spaces – abandoned, uninhabited buildings that struggle to defy the ravages of time and the natural processes of decay – construction pits, and sites where vegetation gradually grows into the urban body, blurring the boundary between the artificial and the organic. In this liminal space, where decaying buildings coexist with the persistence of nature, symbolic landscapes unfold. In her works, architecture is not presented by its useful function, but as a fragmented structure that is losing its original form and purpose. In this context, it is bound to temporality, material instability and formal incompleteness. We are presented with the experience of a space without a solid support – a space that establishes itself as a transitory, changeable and temporary structure. In this sense, the artist thinks of space as a relational concept that does not only possess physical prerequisites, but is an entity preconditioned by social, historical and material change.
