Tenderpixel Gallery is pleased to present its second solo show by Hrvoje Majer. Inner Metamorphoses will showcase Majer’s new oil paintings, further developing his exploration of the inner lives of people, and making visible their micro-emotional and psychological states through his brushstrokes. Inspired by Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses’, Inner Metamorphoses is themed around the discourse of historical and mythological paintings, whilst investigating contemporary expressions of fate and divine intervention. The base of Majer’s practice is the exploration of human relationships, both internal and external. He is specifically interested in conceptually tracing the creation of these relationships between ourselves and those close to us. Bypassing emotional facades, he traces the nuances of almostinvisible mental processes. These mental states and phases are both personal and universal: ‘the little anxieties’, ‘the little fears’ and ‘the little doubts’ are themes endlessly preoccupying our societal psyche. Majer’s paintings make their subjects conscious of their unconscious while illuminating their aura’s of self judgment and acceptance. Hrvoje Majer is a celebrated Croatian artist whose practice contemporises traditional oil painting and emphasises the fragile and transient nature of human awareness. Currently living and working in London, he is an MA Graduate of Central Saint Martins (2005).
