Artist Statement

I paint what the self glimpses, what dissolves when named too quickly: mental, sensory, and emotional impressions, with their disrupting noise and intangible forms.

As both artist and digital designer, I explore the threshold between intuition and computation, inviting viewers to reflect on the screens they engage with, from physical displays to the inner landscapes of imagination, memory, and dreams.

Through addition and subtraction, distortion and ambiguity, my process-led paintings investigate perception and self-awareness, at times fragmented, at times profoundly interconnected.

Striding Edge

london, brixton, 17-19 october 2025

Artists build informal networks, collectives, and forms of solidarity that exist outside official structures. Care becomes infrastructure. A shared resource, a message, a recommendation—these small acts sustain practices through uncertainty.

Striding Edge is a real place—narrow, exposed, uneven.
It’s also where many artists work now:
Between disciplines, across borders, without guarantees.
Precarious, but not alone.

Come and meet the works by 32 international artists, including @unprimed_collective artists and guests!

"Selec’s work investigates the glitch, something that is mysterious, unknowable and usually temporary
or short-lived. This transient fault is intrinsically difficult to troubleshoot and therefore hard to pin down in technological terms and life! The same can be said of the effects of uncertainty and the anxiety caused by technology and consuming media. The layers of glitch on glitch can confuse us further and thus mounts the tension and anxiety."

“I find that nothing articulates virtual as well as the glitch does. Like beauty, it commands our attention, and wakes us up. We notice being plucked out of immediate reality and sucked into a virtual one.
As digital noise blurs the boundaries between the tangible and the ephemeral,
I invite the viewer into such a mindful opportunity.”

~ Djuro
