Beletic’s Neon Primitivism series is a natural extension of the artist’s commitment to primitivist ideology and ‘bringing the party and the fun’. This new series celebrates the can vas and painting as a form with the power to transfer primitivism, sensuality and emotion to a space in a modern return to Ab Ex style, mixing the ultra mattes of her signature clays, sourcing ancient pigments, such as botanical dyes, crushed semi-precious stones, burned wood and blending that with post-modern techniques using spray paints and oils. Pointing to forms that enlight the viewer towards multiple directions of cave paintings, the new york school, ceremonial body paints, line work, weathered artifacts, Charles Olsen’s Archaic Post Modern and pop art, Ali celebrates the vivid marriage and simultaneity of our shared archaic and contemporary inheritance.
