Vivian Suter’s gestural works are the result of a daily, physical and emotional relationship with the materials and the contingencies of nature in the subtropical ecosystem where she lives and works. Rain, earth, humidity, light, flora, and fauna often inhabit her unstretched canvases, expressing her close interaction with external factors and her break with the traditional notion of controlling authorship, to create a versatile and monumental body of work, visually incomparable—an ode to the possibilities of painting.

Acknowledged today as one of the most influential figures of post-war Yugoslavian art, mangelos is the pseudonym that the Yugoslavian art critic and historian Dimitrije Bašičević (1921–1987) used for his artistic activity, a parallel career he would only make public in the 1970s. Although he never considered himself an artist, he never stopped producing paintings, blackboards on which he inscribed poems, stories, quotations and philosophical manifestos, all inspired by his historical pessimism and the idea that language is infected by ideologies.
