„...Upravo ta nekontrolisana, nevidljiva razmena vitalne
energije koja zauzima prostor između
aktera namernih ili slučajnih
susreta, centralno je mesto oko
koga se dalje razvija celokupna konceptualna nit. Višeznačnost u ovom ciklusu
slika izražena je kroz neprekidnu
dekonstrukciju elemenata slike, koji se reinkarniraju i dalje beskonačno rekombinuju, iščezavaju i
iznova pojavljuju, a sve vreme zadržavajući vezu sa prvobitnim, sveprisutnim motivom - glavom.“
Meanings and Visual Expression in the
Paintings and Drawings of Kristina Ristić
fragment
February 2011
“Kristina
Ristić’s paintings and drawings eliminate any kind of indifference one may
feel. They provoke the viewer, tickle his/her ability to decode the meanings
the artist (may) wishes/ wish to convey. They depict bonds between man and the
space he exists in, the Platonic microcosms opposed to the macrocosms. In her
works she endeavors to provide a special metaphysical dimension that makes the
two cosmoses man resides in equal.”
“…Kristina
Ristić has chosen the path of synthesis: equally represented in her works are
enlarged forms that can be said to represent traces of abstract thought as well
as the precise, concrete forms of reduced dimensions. We can see when reading
her large format paintings that she has the same attitude towards the image as
she does in her drawings and sketches of smaller format, in other words, that
her methods of Derridian deconstruction represent a serious and complete system
that she consistently applies, a system on the basis of which her readings of
concepts and issues can be placed within the broad range of exploring man’s
position in the world as within ourselves.”

Značenja i likovnost slika i crteža Kristine Ristić
fragment
Februar 2011.
„Slike i crteži Kristine Ristić eliminišu
svaku ravnodušnost. Provociraju posmatrača, golicaju našu sposobnost da odgonetnemo
značenja o kojima umetnica (možda) želi da progovori. Reklo bi se da se radi o
sponama čoveka i prostora njegove egzistencije, o platonovskom mikrokosmosu
suprotstavljenom makrokosmosu. Svojim radovima ona nastoji da obezbedi posebnu
metafizičku dimenziju kojom se izjednačavaju ta dva kosmosa u kojima prebiva
čovek.“
„...Kristina Ristić je odabrala put sinteze: na
njenim radovima ravnopravno egzistiraju uveličane forme za koje bismo mogli
reći da su u stvari tragovi apstraktnog načina mišljenja, kao i precizne,
konkretne forme smanjenih dimenzija. Kroz njena dela velikih dimenzija čitamo
da je odnos prema liku isti kao i na crtežima ili skicama manjeg formata,
drugim rečima - da su njeni metodi deridijanske dekonstrukcije jedan ozbiljan i
celovit sistem kojeg se dosledno drži, sistem na osnovu kojeg njena iščitavanja
pojmova i problema mogu da se podvedu u široki raspon istraživanja čovekovog
mesta u svetu, ali i u nama samima.“

Encounter
fragment
March 2012
“…This
uncontrollable, invisible exchange of vital energy that takes place in the
space between the people involved in these intentional or accidental encounters
is the central point around which the whole conceptual idea develops. The
polysementism of this cycle of paintings is expressed through the continual
deconstruction of the elements of the image, that are then reincarnated and
further endlessly recombined, disappearing and again appearing but the whole
time remaining connected with the original, all present motif- the head.”
“…Although
these painting are by their formal characteristics, and primarily by the
powerful and dynamic exploitation of the painterly matter close to the painting
of gesture, they retain essential elements of figurative art depicted by
expressive and suggestive features of drawing combined by broad thick layers of
paint.”
“…A
dialogue structure is also suggested by the form of a diptych that in this case
represents a literal and metaphoric ideal compositional solution that could be
the harmonized place of the golden section but also the scene of cataclysmic
collisions.”

Susreti
fragment
Mart 2012.
„..Iako su po formalnim osobenostima, i pre svega snažnoj dinamičkoj eksploataciji slikarske materije
bliski slikarstvu gesta, ovi radovi u biti zadržavaju elemente figurativnosti
izražne ekspresivnim i sugestivnim svojstvima
crteža u kombinaciji sa širokim pastuoznim bojenim namazima.“
„...Dijaloška struktura sugerisana je i
samom formom diptiha, koji u ovom
slučaju, predstavlja i doslovno, i metaforički idealno kompoziciono
rešenje, koje bi moglo biti harmonizovano mesto zlatnog
preseka, ali i poprište kataklizmičkih sudara.“
Jelena Krivokapić, art historian
„Diptych paintings depicting specific dialogues are the main themes of the artist’s oeuvre. Pairs of imaginary individuals caught in different situations: conversations, encounters, potent silences, conflicts or crossovers are a pretext for a visual interpretation of the energy that can be experienced and exchanged in such situations. Kristina Ristić’s painting goes beyond the tradition portrayal of the human face and her newly created individuals are conceived as complex metaphors of character and human relations reduced to minimalist gesture and mimetics.“
