Dusa Jesih, More or less, acrylic on canvas, 185x256cm, 2022-23 Dusa Jesih's "More or Less" is a large-scale, minimalist geometrical black and white painting in acrylic on canvas, measuring 185x256cm, and created in 2023. It is part of a cycle called THE MEMORY OF THE VISIBLE AND THE TOUCH, which captures the idea of the power of unity and harmony in opposite black and white, and the journey through a tunnel of life. The painting depicts a series of black and white rectangles that appear to be floating in space. The rectangles are arranged in a grid-like pattern, but they are not perfectly aligned. This creates a sense of dynamism and movement as if the rectangles are dancing or shifting around. The black-and-white contrast is stark and dramatic, but it is also balanced and harmonious. The black rectangles represent the darkness and negativity in life, while the white rectangles represent the light and positivity. The two forces are always in tension, but they are also essential to each other. The title of the painting, "More or Less", suggests that there is no such thing as absolute black and white in life. Everything is in a state of flux, and we are constantly moving from one extreme to the other. The painting is a reminder that we should embrace the duality of life and find balance in the midst of chaos. The painting can also be seen as a metaphor for the journey through life. The tunnel of life is represented by the grid-like pattern of the rectangles. We are all moving through this tunnel, and we all face challenges and obstacles along the way. But the painting also suggests that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that we can overcome any obstacle if we stay united and harmonious.

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. In 1996, she completed the Secondary School for Design and Photography in Ljubljana, specialising in graphic design.

In the period 2006–2007, Jesih attended specialisation courses at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris.
