Najzad, moje oči su bile otvorene, i stvarno sam shvatio prirodu. U isto vrijeme naučio sam da volim.

Klod Mone

U gomili vještačkog koje je stvorio, čovjek lako zaboravlja da je dio prirode, od nje sazdan, njene snage pun i pred njom tako krhak. Isti procesi teku bez prestanka u nama i oko nas, a naša priča – prošla, sadašnja i buduća – najljepše je ispisana u prirodi.

Apstraktnost umjetnika ne ograničava. Njegov potez nije dužan da stvara već poznati oblik. Radovi umjetnice Anje Radulović često započnu kao takvi, ali nekada, u toku procesa, dogodi se da poprime naličja nama već poznatih oblika. Serija apstraktnih slika završi se kao mapa svijeta, a mreža sitnih linija prelazi u fosilne ostatke i do kostiju ogoljena torza.

Bilo da koristi široki spektar, bilo samo nekoliko nijansi iste boje, ona postiže moćan koloristički efekat. Jedna od serija slika nastaje sprejevima isprskanim po vodi: oni ostaju na vodenoj površini poput prosutog ulja. Anja zatim potapa papir u vodu i na njega se preslikavaju novonastali oblici. Nekada prije, nekada poslije tog procesa, umjetnica dorađuje sliku četkicama koje sama pravi, upravo da bi dobila efekte koji su kasnije viđeni na gotovom radu.

Umjetnica je poznata po svojoj težnji da izađe iz dvodimenzionalnosti, pa tako (nakon procesa destrukcije) na kraju ostaje izgužvani, izgorjeli papir, stavljen u ramove kojima ne pripada, iz kojih iskače. Ti radovi, konceptualni i gotovo filozofski, podsjećaju da – bez obzira na to što je nešto uništeno – ono zavređuje da bude uramljeno, okačeno i vrednovano – baš kao što i najneprijatniji i najstrašniji procesi u prirodi u nama bude divljenje i poštovanje.

Anja ne odvaja prirodu i čovjeka – oni su toliko sjedinjeni u radovima da je nemoguće sa sigurnošću vidjeti samo jedno. Inspirisana je crnogorskim pejzažom, krševitim predjelima i putevima probijenim kroz sedimentne stijene. Sličnost kamena i kostiju, mišićnih vlakana i linearnosti stijena, oronulih fasada i promjenljivih istorijskih mapa svijeta, paukovih mreža i razuđenosti najsitnijih kapilara u našem tijelu u radovima Anje Radulović – dokaz su da je sve povezano a jedinstveno u cjelosti.

My eyes were open at last, and I truly understood Nature. In that very moment, I learned to love.

Claude Monet

In the plethora of artificiality which they had created, people easily forget that they are part of nature – made of it, strong only because of it and oh, so fragile before it. Same processes take place constantly both inside and outside of us, while our story – past, present and future – is best written by nature.

Abstraction does not limit the artist. Her stroke does not need to create familiar forms. The works of Anja Radulović often start out in this way, but sometimes, during the creative process, they happen to assume the contours of already familiar forms. A series of abstract images ends up as a map of the world, while networks of tiny lines turn into fossil remains and bare-bone torsos.

Whether using a wider range or just a few shades of the same color, she achieves powerful chromatic effects. One of her painting series is created by spraying on water: the colour remains on the water surface like spilled oil. Anja then soaks paper in the water, replicating the created shapes on it. Sometimes before and sometimes after this process, the artist builds upon the image with brushstrokes, in order to achieve the desired effects that we later see in the finished work.

The artist is known for her aspiration to come out of two-dimensionality, so (after a destruction process), we are left in the end with crumpled, burned paper placed in frames it does not belong to, from which it sticks out. Conceptual and almost philosophical, these works remind that – regardless of the fact that something has been destroyed – it is worthy of being framed, hung and appraised – just as the most unpleasant and terrifying processes in nature incite our admiration and respect.

Anja does not separate nature and humankind – they are so integrated in her works that it is impossible to see with certainty only one or the other. She draws inspiration from Montenegrin landscapes, rugged expanses and roads sliced through sedimentary rock. In the works of Anja Radulović, the similarity between bones and stone, muscle fibers and linearity of rocks, ramshackle facades and changing historical maps of the world, spider webs and the branching of the smallest capillaries in our body – this is all evidence that everything is connected, and yet wholly unique.
