Standing as a definitive statement of fine art collage artwork, masterfully challenges the static boundaries of modern curation and portraiture. Natasha Zupan orchestrates an intricate visual laboratory, incorporating found images from Horst P. Horst’s classical publications to form a dialogue between strict mid-century studio elegance and raw process-based abstraction. The pristine female figure, wearing definitive rows of pearl necklaces, becomes the anchor for a monumental, atomic-like burst of textured acrylic, watercolors, and dense raw pigments that bloom in soft yellows, greens, and pinks. This structural interweaving of historical media and multi-layered physical binders transforms the canvas into an absolute, timeless palimpsest of overlapping sensory memory.

Horst', explores the manipulation of surface texture, light, and the interweaving of time. She has incorporated found images in books from Horst P. Horst into her collages. Time past and time future are united in a perpetual possibility of change. She tries to capture the resonances of evolution in various types of representation. It is not about translating a world that already exists, but about an entrance into a different universe. A timeless, tactile world of sensation and overlapping memory. Materials and emotions converge: The surface holds synthetic binders consisting mainly of layers of inks, acrylics, watercolors, pigments, photographs from books and digital images. These are imbued with altered states of feelings and archetypal references.
