Painter Ana Vrtačnik pursued her doctoral studies during the COVID pandemic, a time when art was experienced only through screens, and the dependence on them spread to all other areas of life. In resistance to “art at a distance” and the general taboo of touch, especially in the context of museums and galleries, she developed her tactile painting, which calls for contact through evocative forms and the choice of a pleasant material – felt. In the exhibition Mere Touch Effect in the Lapidarium of Galerija Božidar Jakac, she presents herself with soft but compact felt objects that grow out of the uneven walls and together form their own ecosystem. The exhibition is on display till 29. July 2025.
