Juxtapoz Magazine - Ania Hobson "Bird" @ SETAREH, Dusseldorf
Briefly

Ania Hobson's exhibition 'Bird' showcases a new series of paintings focusing on the sky's role in composition and narrative. Utilizing vibrant blue and yellow tones, her stylized figures interact with atmospheric depth, uniting various pictorial spaces. The recurring presence of birds blurs the lines between figure and ground, making the sky an active subject centered around nature's beauty and interconnectedness. Hobson continues from her past exhibition, 'Deep-Rooted,' emphasizing nature as a narrative driver and infusing her works with vivid colors to express ever-changing emotions and environments.
In these works, Hobson turns her focus to the sky as a compositional and narrative element. Stylized figures are set against vibrant blue and yellow skies, rendered in soft, luminous tones that give the illusion of atmospheric depth and movement beyond the edges of the frame.
The sky, no longer a passive backdrop, becomes an active subject that is mutable, expressive, and central to the emotive power of the works.
Hobson continues to expand upon ideas from her previous solo exhibition at SETAREH, 'Deep-Rooted,' presenting expansive landscapes and the forest as a compositional playground.
In 'Bird,' Hobson infuses her works with a new atmosphere, made radiant, sometimes golden and even turbulent, like an ever-changing sky.
