Wetterling Gallery is pleased to present Anna Pajak’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, Ghost Flowers, Arrived Through Water. Included in the exhibition is a series of new paintings and prints. Opening Reception will take place Thursday, May 27 from 5 - 8 PM.
In her latest work Pajak has introduced organic forms into an imagery of abstract geometrical spaces. Her careful selection of colors and precise compositions are executed in a harmony derived from sacred geometry. With an intuitive process the work develops organically, where every new element is a proposition that determines the final result. She connects and infuse natural and abstracted forms with evocative visual and spiritual qualities. The black irises surrounded by orbs and architectural fragments is a recurring motive throughout the series. The flowers appear to descend from the sky or thrive from the ground. Surrounded by hovering orbs depicted against dark blue skies, the motives appear as visual enigmas. Investigating what can be seen as feminine in painting, Pajak draws inspiration from modernist masters such as Georgia O'Keeffe and Hilma af Klint.
