Dusa Jesih, Matrix, acrylic on mdf, 76x76cm, 2023 Within the realm of fine arts in Slovenia, the paintings of Duša Jesih belong to the genre of geometric abstraction, characterized by visual composition of an art work by means of geometric forms, elements, or structures on a two-dimensional canvas, according to previously defined mathematical rules, which appear to be in accordance with the “scientific” rules of nature. Geometric abstraction is no novelty in Slovene fine arts’ production, it has been topical for over a century, from the time it was still called (and considered) avant-garde. But the scope of Duša Jesih’s paintings reaches far beyond the influence of geometric abstraction, touching upon almost all of the 20th century -isms. In translation, the phrase ‘módus vivéndi’ means an arrangement or agreement that enables a peaceful coexistence. Duša Jesih uses the painting medium to construct geometrical forms into a syntax of horizontal and vertical shapes, creating the effect of architectural quality on a two-dimensional canvas. The artist’s distinctive feature is maintaining an explicit distance to the past and the limitations of the past, and not letting herself be trapped by any kind of direction or movement. The period of modern art, as well as art movements of the 20th and 21st centuries in general, share a common feature: the point is not to understand an art work, but to contemplate one. In a manner entirely her own, Duša Jesih incorporates the avant-garde and neo-avant- garde 20th century genres, creating an entirely new, contemporary art work of the 21st century.

Slovenia
The presentation of a painter, whose works hold a critical view of the social, cultural and political spheres of our existence, but in a little less conventional (fashionable) way for the present times. The goal of my art is to provide a critical overview of our social, cultural and political spheres in a slightly unconventional (trendy) manner. I am more interested in self-reflection on the phenomenon of alienation I am witnessing as it goes (contradictorily) hand in hand with globalisation rather than focused on any political engagement. I feel like sheer existence is draining our last bits of energy in these crazy times. We are straining ourselves with precarious work, fighting for our dear life and in the process forgetting about ourselves and our interpersonal relations. To live in unity and harmony, peace and love now seems an outdated and illusionary hippie idea that is so far from reality. I am trying to face this experience and internalise through the leitmotif of my last cycle of paintings called Unity. Using "as little words as possible" in minimalist "gestalt" language that allows for some artistic expression and space for the world of each individual, I am trying to transform unity into a hybrid of a warning (traffic) sign and icon "logo(therapeutic) type". Although I follow the principle of "spot, line, surface in space" and focus on the basic elements of fine art, I tend to use colour, shape and composition to explore tensions in relationships between colours on the canvas as well as optical effects of more or less discernible forms. My goal is to bring to the fore the foundations of meanings, emotions or narratives. My paintings feature similar visual signs that form new conceptual units in space, i.e. Gesamtkunstwerk, that open up new perspectives and encourage dialogue. My view of the final part revolves around a (harmonious) attitude towards space, possibly a very clear and brutal concrete area in all the seriousness of "beauty in silence". Dusa Jesih, "Unity" / Between the Lines, 2015 DUSA JESIH, short bio Dusa Jesih was born on 16 January 1977 in Ljubljana.
