Marijana Janković
Textile artist
Marijana Janković aka NIGHTMARA is a self-taught textile artist and has a degree in German literature and worked in translation as well as in journalism before moving into art. Her carpets, handmade in wool, and exploring pop culture in general as well as dreams and visions, strike by the tension between their often apparent comical motifs and the actual hard, patient work that is needed to produce them. This combination of fun and craft is in tune with our Zeitgeist, enhanced by pandemic-induced homebound melancholy and boredom.
With Laufer Gallery from Zürich, she has participated in Bienvenue ArtFair in Paris, had a solo show in Zürich, and a solo in Belgrade, Serbia.
Recent shows include: group show at Galerie Fran Reus in Palma, Mallorca; online show at The Curators, Paris/NY; group show at BIEN Textile Art Biennale in Kranj, Slovenia.
