Introduced to the Croatian Naive tradition of reverse oil painting on glass by today’s Naive Masters, British-American artist Melanie Hodge has taken this unique and little-known technique and made it completely her own: transforming plain, ordinary window glass into looking glasses that reflect a dreaming world.
Characterised by a bright and bold palette, sweeping spirals of stars, richly detailed landscapes of wonder and flowers out of season, this exhibition will showcase how an almost forgotten tradition can inspire new directions, explore the process of painting in the reverse technique and give a glimpse into an imagination of original artistic vision – as seen through a looking glass.
This exhibition forms part of a month of cultural activities organised by the The British Croatian Society and the Croatian Embassy in London with live poetry and theatre events, talks and presentations, all under the banner of Creative Croatia.
