Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
My paintings depict histories of urban heritage, parallels between my childhood memories and the cultures that I encounter on my journeys. During my formative years in Dalmatia, I witnessed the aging architecture and time-worn columns of a residual ancient town existing side by side with contemporary urban life. Most of my paintings are created by adding and subtracting acrylic paint with a spatula and scraping at it, building layers overlapping each other. The process includes adding other materials like paper or glass adding details with oil pastels: patterns, shapes, lines, etc. I often establish handwritten texts as a central element of the canvas. I combine different viewpoints, presenting the town from a bird's eye view, while the houses appear in a two-dimensional profile. With this approach I create a disengaged space which opens the way to different variations of a single story.

Croatia
Branka Ridicki (b. 1966, Zadar, Croatia) earned her BA and MA in History of Art and Italian Literature and Language at the University of Zagreb. She has worked as an independent documentary film producer and film-maker since 1991, and began her career as an artist in 2001. She is based in Zagreb, but divides her time between Croatia and Sri Lanka. Branka is best known for the itinerary and cartographic elements in her paintings marked with fragments of urban architecture. This stems from the cultural framework she grew up in, within the historical urban architecture of her native town, Zadar. She preserved this inclination and reinforced it in the context of multicultural experiences, throughout her constant relocations to New York, Cairo and Colombo. In Faces of the Town, her paintings develop the theme of a town that is not a megalopolis, but a place where space and time are perceived on a small scale. She combines different viewpoints, presenting the town from a bird's eye view, while the houses appear in a two-dimensional profile. With this approach she creates a disengaged space which opens the way to different variations of a single story. Addressing public spaces through poetic and creative play on the concept of town, exploring the millenia-old experience of urban living, Branka questions the position of the individual in our modern, migrational society. Branka has represented Croatia at the 10th International Cairo Biennale, Cairo, Egypt (2007). Major exhibitions of Branka's work have been held in Vladimir Filakovac Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia (2016); Museum of Ancient Glass, Zadar, Croatia (2010) and Mahmoud Mokhtar Museum, Cairo, Egypt (2007). Branka is a member of the Croatian Association of Artists Zadar (HDLU Zadar) and the Croatian Association of Artists Zagreb (HDLU Zagreb).
