Tatjana Peric’s “Series Grey” is a subtle yet profound exploration of contrast, form, and texture, where black and gray tones create an intricate balance between the boldness of shadow and the delicacy of line. This series evokes a quiet intensity, with each piece reflecting different aspects of abstraction and the complex interplay between structure and fluidity. The minimalist color palette allows the viewer to focus deeply on the textures, drips, and forms, making each piece a contemplative experience.
“Shadow 01”
The first painting, “Shadow 01,” introduces the series with an expression of fluidity and structure. Thick, bold splashes of black paint sit atop layers of gray, creating a dramatic contrast. The drips of paint give the impression of gravity pulling the shadows downward, suggesting a sense of movement. The rough, raw strokes make the painting feel alive and almost chaotic, yet the soft background tones provide balance and calmness. “Shadow 01” is a meditation on the weight and presence of shadows, inviting viewers to consider the spaces that are often overlooked.
“Untitled Drawings”
At the center of the series is “Untitled Drawings,” a work that breaks away from the bold, weighty strokes of the other pieces and focuses instead on delicate line work. The abstract lines dance across the canvas, creating a sense of spontaneity and fluidity. The light teal wash in the background adds a sense of coolness and subtlety, contrasting with the stark, black outlines that seem to map out a fragmented landscape. This piece offers a quiet moment within the series, inviting the viewer to explore the intricate connections between form and abstraction.
“Shadow 02”
“Shadow 02” mirrors the intensity of the first painting, but with a slightly more balanced composition. The black splashes are more controlled, with drips of both black and gray running down the canvas. The soft gradient background evokes a sense of atmosphere, as if the shadows are emerging from or dissolving into mist. The interplay between light and dark here is more refined, giving the painting a sense of quiet strength. “Shadow 02” offers a sense of resolution to the series, bringing the visual journey full circle.
