Wanderer II, 2023 , Djuro Selec
Spray Paint on Canvas
46 x 38 cm
Kindly donated by the artist
The Wanderer painting offers a contemporary contemplation of our capacity to maintain focus in a hyperdigital world. The artist employed a distinctive technique, applying spray paint through a pre-painted latex netting, resulting in a composition that shows trust in the medium and embraces the serendipitous drips and accidents that arise. With use of semi-transparent pigments, the artwork retains a gentle yet distinct transition of colours, accompanied by chromatic aberration effects that evoke the dispersal of a computer screen beneath bold brushstrokes. With gentle enthusiasm, this piece invites viewers to wander within its RGB borders, embracing its fluid momentum.
Durdica Selec, also known as Djuro [jUro:h], is a painter turned digital designer turned fine artist. Her work encapsulates the persistent techno utopian ambience of our contemporary existence, which she explores through painting, digital art, and embroidery.
Djuro combines the spontaneous nature of spray paint with a controlled application of masking techniques and brushstrokes, which she applies on canvas in anachronistic layers, achieving a visual interference evocative of a screen glitch. Her visual dialect mimics and lovingly mocks computer screens, borrowing from over a decade of graphic design work in the tech sector. Her art is influenced by a continuous quest for balance: work-life, screen-nature, a techie-luddite.
Hailing originally from Croatia, Djuro now divides her time between her life and art studio in South London, UK and her desert retreat in Andalusia, Spain. Upon receiving her BFA First Class Honours with the Art Academy London, she was awarded the Liberty Specialty Markets Art Award 2022/23. She exhibits in London and continues her painting studies with Turps Art School.
