ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In the nineties I was renting a loft at 1049 Market street in San Francisco. The space was located on the top floor at the rear of the building and had two huge windows overlooking south of Market area and the bay. It was a magnificent view, but during the day I covered it with heavy curtains to keep southern exposure from ruining my lighting for painting. In the evening I would open the curtains and stare through windows, sometimes for hours. I took some visual notes, made simple sketches and photographed the view, but for whatever reason while I lived and worked there I never considered painting what I was seeing through the windows. In Spring of 2021, 25 years later, as I was grasping at memories trying to make sense of space and time I occupied in my life I decided to start a series of paintings based on that view…

Penezic was born in Belgrade, in former Yugoslavia in 1950. After studies of fine arts at the University of Belgrade he relocated to Paris, France where he based his art practice from 1975 to 1980. In 1985 he immigrated to the United States. Until 1990 he was based in New York City and his art practice consisted mainly of painting and printmaking. He started experimenting with digital media, video and photography in 1991 when he moved to San Francisco where he lived until 2007. Today Penezic lives and works in Los Angeles. Relja Penezic is a painter, video artist, printmaker, photographer, and a filmmaker. His work is a multimedia blend that combines technology and painting, performance and video, art and craft. Relja Penezic exhibits his work internationally and his short films are regularly shown at film festivals throughout the world. In 1996 Zakros InterArts label Chronic Art published his CD-ROM Computer Film Sketchbook.

His paintings and media pieces are part of numerous private and public collections in the US, Europe and Japan. In 2004 he was selected by Alaska Arts Council to create a permanent media installation The Alaska Cycle, a video landscape. In 2005 and 2006 he finished two large scale site specific paintings Alaska Time-Lapse and Views of Tundra for the Alaska Psychiatric Institute, commissioned by Alaska Arts Council. Relja Penezic is a cofounder of ARTaVIVA, company/curatorial project dedicated to promotion of audio/video art as a permanent installation medium.
