For Nici Jost, theme “Perspective” is a fundamental aspect of her artistic exploration of the color pink.
As is often the case, a lot is a question of perspective. This also applies to the perception of colors. What comes to mind when you think of pink? For the artist Nici Jost, the theme of perspective is a fundamental aspect of her artistic exploration of the color pink. She draws attention to how the perception of color can shape individual and collective emotions and experiences. She draws her inspiration from exploring the subtle nuances of pink and its ability to reveal various psychological and socio-cultural dimensions, which in turn expand perspectives on gender roles, aesthetics and identity. In her artistic practice, Nici Jost consistently devotes herself to the color pink, its characteristic features, its history and the position that the color occupies in psychology, art, poetry, literature and politics. However, she does not only work with pink as a controversial and divisive element of social and cultural associations; For Nici Jost, pink is a socio-political lens that is able to polarize like no other color in the spectrum. We are guests in the Artstübli – Art & Culture, currently completely covered in pink. The exhibition “Nici Jost – From West to East to Space” was there in March/ April 28th 2024.
