Jelena Micić works with colors and materials that are taken directly from everyday life: shades of earth from her Serbian hometown, colors that arise in the washing machine or when bleaching hair or with a color palette of everyday plastic goods. The works are always multi-layered, in the case of the series "Plastik ist plastisch" made of crocheted garbage bags, the artist refers both to the art-historical tradition of abstract painting and to traditional techniques for recycling and reusing original disposable materials.
Jelena Micić (* 1986, Serbia) completed her studies in sculpture with Heimo Zobernig at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in winter 2020.
For known reasons, the artist cannot be present at the opening. Take a look at the short video that she recorded a few months ago on the occasion of her diploma show to get to know the artist, her way of working and her archive a little:
