THE TRAVELLER SHRUGGED

DANIEL VUKOVLIJAK

Exhibition Dates: 9 December 2015 - 9 January 2016

Pursuing a printed-paper aesthetic, Daniel Vukovljak’s work follows several lines of inquiry seeking a playful conversion of rational or irrational thought into form. The inquiries, performed like mini experiments, generally take the shape of “What happens when I take A and perform B…” and “What if I combine it with C?”

As Rudolf Arnheim says in “Visual Thinking”, to make an object/idea visible is to know its essential traits. Daniel intuits that the act of making can also flow knowledge back into the object/idea being depicted.

The resultant works or “inquiries” act as a visual imagery smorgasbord to stir the imagination.
