In In Limbo, Petrovic portrays the feeling of being stuck in both a whirlwind of emotions and the mundanity of everyday life. The aim was to portray an unfortunate situation in an aesthetically pleasing way.
About Tijana Petrovic
Tijana Petrovic is a London-based artist and graduate of Central Saint Martins, MA Fine Art, where she was awarded the Mona Hatoum bursary. Her practice spans painting and sculpture. She was shortlisted for the Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize, the Sunny Art Prize and the Visual Art Open prize, and has exhibited widely across the UK.
Through her practice, Petrovic questions boundaries, intersections and interference between social and inner worlds as well as inborn traits and conscious decision-making. The uncontrollable and unreliable aspects of the human body and mind make her lean toward perfectionism and making figurative, meticulous and almost monochrome works often perceived as sterile. Across these canvases, the artist toys with notions of insecurity, inhibition, vulnerability and complex emotional states such as nostalgia, with an aim to cope with the anxieties related to everyday life by transforming them into comedic scenes, often presented in her work through the motif of the strawberry.
