Marin Majić

Marin Majić is a Booklyn-based painter whose powerfully atmospheric paintings of imagined worlds center around themes of engagement, intimacy, isolation, and power. Using a range of materials, including marble dust, oil paint, wax, and colored pencils, Majić’s textured paintings depict dimly lit landscapes with focal points of warm, bright hues. In these backlit ecosystems, the figure is often alone, situated within verdant landscapes of larger-than-life leaves, open oceans, and lush forests. With their back to the viewer, their expression and inner life out of view. In a nearly dream-like manner, the story never crystallizes into a single story but rather is the complex of many narratives into one.
