Spectral Nomenclature. Anastasia Pavlou  by Arnisa Zeqo

Artist Anastasia Pavlou’s practice is explored through her engagement with literature, memory, and the materialization of language. Her large-scale paintings, which draw formal comparisons to Art Informel and Abstract Expressionism, function as conceptual lexicons where titles—often direct citations from writers like Dionne Brand and Virginia Woolf—carry as much weight as the paint itself. Works such as "The Reader Interrogates Narrative, but Poetry Interrogates the Reader" demonstrate her interest in the "spectral" side of nomenclature, where naming serves to summon ghosts of the past while acknowledging the failures of language to capture emotion.

The exhibition "Painting Miniatures by Slaven Vidović" opened on Saturday at the Split Art Gallery, presenting for the first time works from the previously unknown artistic oeuvre of Slaven Vidović, the son of painter Emanuel Vidović.

Vidović, a prominent physician and art collector, studied medicine in Prague from 1919 to 1926, where he developed a passion for capturing everyday life in working-class districts, night bars, and cafes, drawing on styles including Fauvism, Cubism, Dadaism, Expressionism, and Neorealism.
