RABBIT SEASON

Daniela Jauregui is a Mexico-based visual artist. Her exhibition in Bellart Gallery Vienna presents her latest body of works. During the 2020 Covid lockdown, she began working on her series of paintings and ceramics divided into four major but interconnected themes. Flamingo Lost in Transylvania (2022), a large-scale painting; Rabbit Season (2020), and The Bath (2020), two medium-sized paintings. Ceramics from the Godess (2020) series. The 20 small paintings Black Matters Too (2020-23), each 20X20, refer to her creative period during the lockdown.

The images in the exhibition space are mutually referential, touching on the themes of female creativity, seductiveness, fertility, and grace on the one hand. On the other hand, on domestic confinement (particularly during the lockdown), the bleakness of everyday life, or even domestic violence.

The exhibition keeps these themes in flux by alternating between vibrant colorful pinks (of exotic fruits, flowers, textiles, and flamingos) and black, white, and grey (rabbits, backgrounds, and stork). Mexico’s south and Europe’s east.

The exhibition invites visitors to interact and contribute to the rearranging of Black Matters Too images, making this flux even more vital.

Insight of the curator to the exhibition

"The images in the exhibition space are mutually referential, touching on the themes of female creativity, seductiveness, fertility, and grace on the one hand. On the other hand, they also speak of domestic confinement (particularly during the lockdown), the bleakness of everyday life, or even domestic violence."

PETER BALDINGER
"WEEPING WOMAN"
28.10. 2020 - 28.2. 2021

The term dissolution runs like a red thread through the entire work of Peter Baldinger (*1958). The word itself is polysemic: it has the meanings of “dissolving” in the sense of a physical disintegration and is synonymous with ending or Picking up something. One also speaks of the digital image resolution as a measure of the quality of a raster graphic – the sum of the layers of meaning is explicitly expressed in Baldinger’s series low_resolution. In addition, crystallized in his work the group of works diffusion years ago. In it, the artist puts the limits of the visual recognizability of a pictorial object to the test by looking at it as if through a fluted glass pane. Just as the word “resolution” ultimately stands for “the solution or elucidation of a riddle or secret”, Baldinger’s works address the viewer’s need to name, decipher and decipher the alienated subject to categorize.

Bettina SCHÜLKE
PROCESSES OF TRANSFORMAtion
2.7.-15.8. 2021

Bettina Schülke (*1967) is an Austrian multimedia artist living and working in Vienna with an unique academic, scientific and artistic background. Transformation can be seen as a process, something that takes place in time and space. Processes can become visible in different ways: In Schülke’s works, such PROCESSES OF TRANSFORMATION play a vital role. This can affect both the appearance of the works and their perception, the chosen content, the involvement of the viewer, as well as the different artistic media for the implementation of these topics. The upcoming solo exhibition of Bettina Schülke will feature textile works, drawings, paintings, video and objects and it will also be a reflection to the new era of rapidly changing environment and life as we used to know it.

DOROTA SADOVSKA
"READING ABOUT LIQUIDITY" 7.11.2019 - 30.1. 2020

Bellart Gallery is delighted to present the solo exhibition “Reading about Liquidity” by Dorota Sadovska (*1973) which includes figurative oil,acrylic and carved paintings, as well as space and light objects. This unique art project marks a significant milestone in Dorota’s artistic work and its evolution of her explorative approach to the installation and presentation of art in a truly unique style with intertwined individual concepts that is built upon a dynamic visual construction based on a combination of different media. These constructions are readable by allowing the observers to be included in the staging. The installation motivates to emulate the gestures in the pictures and to participate in the whole artistic program. The fluid in the art of Dorota Sadovska is thus the transience of participation in viewing her own images.
