Jure´s work takes multiple forms (installations, performance,
sculptures and paintings) with the exhibition as a pretext for
deploying not mere pieces of art, but a complete way of living. Her
practice skits from one medium to the other, transitioning
effortlessly from the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional
worlds. She is known for her large-scale paintings on paper.
Predominantly abstract and beside their apparent spontaneity, they
result in scenic environments. They underline and produce a vivid
space for quiet and conjetural contemplation, in which the spectator
is introduced as a kind of intruder. In the same direction, her
sculptures in handcrafted ceramic explore the link between bodies and
space, and between chaos and equilibrium, evoking a sense of both
imminence and uncertainty.
