Adisa Czeczelich

A text written by the art historian Gabriele Baumgartner:

You will become aware of the most famous sentence from Arthur Schnitzler´s Drama which had its first performance in 1911 when you view the work of Adisa Czeczelich. We find it in this approach, picture language, stylistic devise and the choice of theme. The powerful painting, mostly with overlap of coating and small transparent parts or fine lines as counterpoint brings the viewer to this sensible moments. Although the abstraction seems as interplay between colour and the sensitive meshwork of graphic elements succeeds the artist that the fine lines become forground at the first moment you watch. The dominance of colour as importance is so installed that the as mood for transported fact is pushed into the background. Her paintings and graphic works tell not only because of their expression, but because of the titles of their works – about the contest between human as person and the social aspects. The artist knows this kind of themes very good because she is working as arttherapist. In that work she is confronted with traumatic biographies and the challenges of human life. So she can see the canalisation of art and the understanding of freedom of art in booth works and she can find the own expression. Adisa Czeczelich writes in a statement that she wants to tell about “stories of longing, melancholia, injury and injuryness, of lust and balefulness, love and pain, about inner conflicts, split and separation.

“In my art I find expression in dynamic and expressive painting, which is characterized by overlapping and vibrating brushstrokes and lines. Each of my paintings is created from decisive settlements of lines and surfaces, different colors and their movement. In the spatial proximity and density, I try to create a unique depth that comes from the pictorial initiative and conception of each work.”
