Maja Vukoje

In her large format paintings, Maja Vukoje addresses discursive issues such as post colonialism, gender, and popular culture. Due to her own migration experience, she is particularly interested in syncretic cultural phenomena. Her work exploits all the possibilities of painting. She creates various pictorial forms of expression through the use of combs, putty knives, stencils, flowing paint, sprayed elements, and applications of real objects. The result is a somewhat undecipherable contextual meaning of the images.

Maja Vukoje has exhibited work at Künstlerhaus- Halle für Kunst & Medien, Graz; Zacheta – National Gallery of Art, Warsaw; and Secession, Vienna, among others.
