Achieving a rich depth through numerous layers of thinned oil paint, Maja Ruznic creates vibrant, large-scale paintings that are both figurative and geometric, the flattened shapes of her almost patterned compositions reminiscent of Klee. With her subjects spanning the height of her canvases, they act as vertical stripes, their body parts sectioned off by her tender sensibility for color—magenta and deep red are accentuated by turquoise and yellows, and cobalt and purple highlight chartreuse. Her figures flood the plane, and some of them are more playful, such as The Force Field’s human-size mouse and bird. Adding to their mystical quality, the size of the works makes each one an experience, swallowing the viewer.
