Prošli
smo kroz zemlje u kojima seoski umetnici majstorski povezuju boju i liniju, i
liniju sa oblikom, i bili smo bolesni od zavisti!

Korbizje o srpskoj tradicionalnoj keramici
(Putovanja
na istok, 1911)
Često odbacujemo tradiciju skloni blasfemičnoj misli da
kreativni procesi započinju s nama, jer svako vreme ima sopstvene oči i uši,
mirise i dodire, forme i boje koje ga definišu. U izvesnom smislu ovakvo
razmišljanje nije sasvim netačno. Ono predstavlja neku vrstu stilske matrice
koja pomaže da se lakše apstrahuju procesi unutar velike i moćne stvaralačke
matice koja oblikuje kreativnu istoriju čovečanstva. Istovremeno, upravo ti
okviri služe da se osobeni umetnički duhovi sagledaju u realnoj ravni
sopstvenog stvaralačkog potencijala. Ponekad, neočekivano, na uzorku takozvanih
malih stvari i svakidašnjih tema. U jednostavnoj plastici,
minijaturi, žanru, aksesoaru ili upotrebnoj keramici.
Keramičarka Ivana Rackov na svojoj prvoj samostalnoj izložbi
“Cvetanje”, pokazuje upravo kroz dizajn posudne keramike svu neophodnost
poznavanja i uvažavanja tradicionalnog kao temelja ličnog iskaza koji nije cilj
sam sebi, već je refleks unutrašnje punoće stvaraoca - sretnog spoja znanja,
impulsa i promišljanja.
Estetika Ivane Rackov, njen naoko jednostavan, a zapravo
tehnički visoko zahtevan postupak, prepoznatljivi su već neko vreme publici
rafiniranog, osetljivog ukusa. Sinteza jednostavnih linija, vanrednog ritma u
kome se smenjuju rustične i glatke površine, mat i sjajne glazure, boje i
minuciozno osmišljeni detalji, daju posudnoj keramici Ivane Rackov redak
kvalitet elegancije koja se teško postiže u kamenini u kojoj umetnica najčešće
stvara. Iako kompaktne, forme ovih posuda kao da dobijaju neki fini
dinamizam, gotovo pokret unutar materijala, zahvaljujući delikatnim bojenim
urezima, spiralno uvijenim drškama ili duhovitim detaljima u vidu kožnih
pertli. Pokret koji je najavljen kroz vibrantan detalj koji menja primarnu
statiku predmeta u korist originalne estetike, kulminira bojom u njegovoj
nutrini, pa se čini kao da šolje, činije i tanjiri Ivane Rackov počinju da
cvetaju iz neke sopstvene, neodgonetnute, a uzbudljive i očaravajuće
inicijacije.
Komplementaran sada već svojevrsnom brendu Ivane Rackov,
stilizovanom cvetu maka koji umetnica već neko vreme varira u širokom
dijapazonu od keramičkih inastalacija, preko broševa do nakita, ovaj
stvaralački koncept jasno sugeriše zaokruženost jednog procesa u kome
talentovan umetnik sazreva u stilskoj etapi prve decenije akademskog i
strukovnog trajanja. U vremenu u kome se uticaji i zanosi, sumnje i
nesigurnosti koji su obeležili godine školovanja prelivaju u empirijsku,
stilsku i značenjsku celovitost i autentičnost. Prelomnu fazu u kojoj stvaralac
oblikuje svoj iskaz i buduće, iako još senovite, kreativne puteve. Kada se na
osnovu njegovog primarnog, umetničkog cvetanja spoznaje koliko često i s kakvim
ishodom će se taj proces obnavljati.

FLOWERING
We
travelled through countries where rural artists masterfully combine color and
line, line and shape, and we were sick with envy!
Le Corbusier on Serbian traditional ceramics
(Journey to the East, 1911)
We, prone to blasphemy thought that creative processes begin
with us, often tend to reject tradition, because every period has its own eyes
and ears, scents and touches, shapes and colors that define it. In a sense,
this way of thinking is not entirely untrue. It represents a kind of stylistic
matrix that enables easier abstraction of processes within large and powerful artistic
mainstream that forms the creative history of mankind. At the same time, it is
these frames that are used to observe peculiar artistic spirits in the real
level of their own creative potential. Sometimes, unexpectedly, in a sample of
so-called small things and everyday topics. In simple plastic, miniature,
genre, accessories or ceramic ware.
Ceramist Ivana Rackov at her first solo show
"Flowering", shows exactly through the ceramic flatware design all
the necessity to know and respect the traditional as the basis of a personal
statement which is not an end to itself, but a reflection of inner fullness of
the creator - a happy combination of knowledge, impulses and thoughts.
Ivana Rackov's aesthetics, her deceptively simple, but in
fact highly technically demanding procedure, is recognized for some time by audience
of refined, delicate taste. Synthesis of simple lines, extraordinary rhythm in
which alternate rustic and smooth surfaces, matte and glossy glazes, colors and
meticulously designed details, give Ivana Rackov's ceramic flatware a rare
quality of elegance that is hard to reach in stoneware clay, in which the
artist usually creates. Although compact, the form of these vessels seem to get
a decent dynamics, almost like a movement within the material, thanks to
colored delicate notches, with winding stems or humorous details in the form of
leather laces. The movement, which was announced in vibrant detail that changes
the primary static of objects in the benefit of original aesthetics, is
culminating with the color of its interior, so it seems like mugs, bowls and
plates made by Ivana Rackov start to bloom from their own riddled, exciting and
enchanting initiation.
Complementary to now a kind of an Ivana Rackov brand,
with stylized poppy flower that the artist for some time varies over a wide
range of ceramic installations, through jewelry and brooches, this creative
concept is suggesting the roundness of a process in which a talented artist
matures in stylistic phase of the first decade of academic and vocational
duration. In a time when effects and ecstasies, doubts and uncertainties that
marked the years of schooling are transformed into empirical, stylistic and semantic
integrity and authenticity. Milestone phase in which the creator shapes his
testimony and future, although still shady, creative ways. When on the basis of
its primary, artistic flowering is known how often and with what outcome that
process will be renewed.
