Jarmuschek + Partner gallery presents an excerpt from MAJLA ZENELI's work complex On Stops and Continuants in the exhibition.
Likewise the pronunciation of words is an articulation of the new combinations of vowels and consonants, On Stops and Continuants consists of individual images that can be read as variables in a larger system consisting of larger, multipartite units. While repeatedly combineable with each other anew, they stimulate the viewer to question the substance and essence of an image. What makes a picture a picture? When does it become an independent, functioning unit in itself and how is it altering the next? How to define transitions and boundaries and how consistent or autonomous is a picture in its appearance, legibility and meaning for us at all? In a series of multi-layered prints, the artist plays with the concept of depth and perspective through simple geometric constellations and light-dark contrasts. Contemplatively experiencable, fine-pored color surfaces make the viewer immerse in a space of color in which diffuse lines and clear breaks appear like sky, horizons, shadows sources of light. Whether indoor or outdoor spaces, comprehensible arrangements or surreal contradictions - the reaction always remains pure association and thought image. At the same time, these images, in their composition of recurring forms, are to be understood as arbitrary seeming, minimalist additions, which, in their mysteriousness, provoke us to search for regularities, affiliations and a presumably applied code in the seriality.
Since her studies in Breslau and Halle (Saale), the Berlin-based artist Majla Zeneli (*1980 in Tirana) has devoted her artistic work to the two major topics of collage and printmaking. Especially the elaborate and multi-faceted technique of mezzotint from the 17th century has been refined by the artist more and more. With its special opportunities for creating painterly quality, mood and atmosphere, this intaglio printing technique was popular in numerous genres of art history. In Majla Zeneli's work it experiences a new actuality and a most contemporary use.
