"I’m playing host to stories that can only seem to find their way out in paint. Somewhat expressive, with shapes that tell stories” – Gaye Jurisich
Jurisich’s work is dependent upon references that exist in the outside world, but she goes beyond the obvious and seeks to create meaning through the result rather than simply recognising the source. This approach allows her to create works that are thought-provoking and visually engaging, with multiple layers of meaning.
In “After Thoughts and Deliberations” Gaye Jurisich re-examines the narratives she has explored in her previous work, this time through the mediums of paint and paper mache sculptures. Her approach to these materials is both expressive and carefully considered, resulting in works that are layered and complex.
Despite her strong back catalogue as a multi-disciplinary artist, Jurisich’s new works are detailed, precise and wild all at once. Her installations and sculptural works fall somewhere between the naturalistic approach of Andy Goldsworthy and the immersive, web-like installations of Chiharu Shiota.
Visually stunning aesthetics are also a hallmark of Jurisich’s work. She employs a range of artistic techniques, including intricate detailing, vibrant colours, and innovative use of materials, to create visually captivating pieces. By combining aesthetic appeal with intellectual depth, Jurisich’s art captivates viewers and leaves a lasting impression.
