The Escape Landscapes exhibition by Maja Strgar Kurečić presents abstract photography that belongs to the very top of contemporary Croatian photography. The exhibition consists of forty original large-format photographs. It is an abstract photography of an organic landscape that is both very personal and powerful. Escape Landscapes represent a great example of organic abstraction, which finds its foundations in Aaron Siskind’s abstract photography focused on the details of things with the intention of creating a new photographic image. The poetry of the abstract landscape poses the question of the existence of boundaries, of depth and distance of observation, leaving the mind open and leaving other worlds and escape landscapes as objects of desire. The artist’s mind shapes, sets the scene and the shot, recognizes and singles out shapes, while the photo freezes them in pure visual essence.”
