The exhibition "Shaping Thoughts" by Montenegrin sculptor Ina Martinović was opened the night before last in Podgorica, in the "Most" gallery, where Martinović presented her works after a successful exhibition in Belgrade in the "Cvijeta Zuzorić" gallery.
As part of the exhibition, sculptures are shown with which Martinović, she says, sculpts his own thoughts, "which is the greatest bliss of a creator".
Art historian and art critic Ljiljana Zeković opened the exhibition and pointed out that the artist's approach is precisely to explore the paths along which thoughts move.
"Using formal elements, she explores the enigmatic paths of the movement of thoughts that we can follow through the triad - the artist as a subject, her thought system, and the matter with which she discovers her own semiotic visual-linguistic and aesthetic universe," says Zeković and adds:
"In the interpretation of her works presented at this exhibition in the eminent gallery 'Most', I relied on the conceptual idea of the artist who says 'With the help of language we sculpt our thoughts...' In fact, she articulates her thoughts with archetypal examples of the most magnificent spiritual treasure of humanity - the letter". explains Zeković's works in which the artist uses materials dominated by metal, wood and stone to show the lightness of paper, pen, hand that writes and from which words spring.
Martinović shows the paper that belongs to the foundations of civilization, and with her motifs and sketches she replaces "the thoughts that she sculpted in order to preserve them", she says.
"I don't know how to sculpt a thought, but I know what the means are: a skillful hand and a quality pen, which will give one, for me, a new form of textuality that will sculpt bodies from the inside and not just the outside," she said about her work.
The evening was organized by Milutin Radulović, a student of the "Vasa Pavić" High School of Music, who accompanied the opening with the sounds of the violin.
