Works by student Branka Kovačević, a virtual exhibition

This work represents visual recordings that are created by combined technique of painting and collage. The original idea is found in desire to combine fine art and kitsch by transforming traditional painting into kitsch minimalistic installations (in this case collages to their transformation in space as installations). In that way I balance my view towards classical aesthetics and kitsch culture. Also, I invite to general opinion of kitsch influence, its representation, negative, but also positive characteristics of the same and one’s own need for it. A universal aesthetics which unites people is rarely found in aesthetics of academic artistic formalism. More often it is found in a pile of everyday objects that awakens our subconscious causing collective nostalgia. I want to explore just that impact of nostalgia in today’s society. The myth of past times as better and simpler is extremely powerful and dangerous and contributes to the greater development of kitsch. Although I somewhat ridicule kitsch culture, I also enjoy its aesthetics to the point of being unpleasant.
