Svetlost otkrivenja Logosa u delima Ljiljane Bursa Oaranost, Traganje, Proticanje. Oaranost prirodom, njenim skrive-nim ritmom, dubokim titrajem, nespoznatljivom dubinom. Traganje, za korenima, za saznanjem, za sutinom. Preputanje proticanju, toku, naizmeninom smenjivanju... Neutaiva potreba za otkrivanjem i e-nja za (krajnjom) spoznajom Ljiljane Bursa, vodila je njeno umet-niko delovanje u istraivanje umetnikih dometa raznih civilizacija i kultura, nalazei nadahnue u tananosti i lepoti kineskih i japanskih svitaka; prefinjenoj lepoti kaligrafije/krasnopisa srpskih srednjove-kovnih rukopisa, ali i spisa mnogih kako bliskoistonih tako i dalekoi-stonih kultura.

Nakon svih zanosnih, zavodljivih, nepredvidljivih i dugotrajnih umet-nikih traganja faza preispitivanja o bitku. Sinteza, svoenje, zauzi-manje stava.

Svest o Logosu. Logos - Um, Re, Slovo. Logos - boanski smisao. Lo-gos - sr svega. Logos iz koga proistie sve, i pitanja, i odgovori.

I ponovo Oaranost, Traganje, Proticanje. Oaranost mogunostima koje prua slobodna (elektronska) enciklopedija, u otkrivanju, nepo-srednom uestvovanju. Traganje, za znanjem, za otkriem. Ponovo proticanje rei, slika, podataka, znanja, sada u virtuelnom prostoru savremene digitalne tehnologije. Oaranost mogunou da, i pored nesumnjive dimenzije otuenosti i osame bia koju nose savremene tehnologije, na Vikipediji, kao slobodnoj enciklopediji, moe svako da kae svoju re, da da svoj doprinos, da utie. Mogunost koja vraa na slobodu rei odnosno na odgovornost za re (izreenu) pred so-bom, a ne (samo) pred zakonom (drutva). I poptuno nenadano, u

otuenosti savremene tehnologije, pojavljuje se i provejava duhovna dimenzija, Logos, smisao. Nadahnuta tim saznanjem, umetnica stvara objekat/skulpturu pod nazivom Logos (2010), knjigu u nastajanju u vidu rukopisa sastavljenog od novog oblika svitaka, na kojima su tekstovi o Logosu odtampani sa Vikipedije na grafo-foliji, koja svo-jom providnou ne dozvoljava da se ita direktno sa nje. Da bi ita-nje bilo mogue potrebno je svaki list/svitak staviti u grafo aparat (za projekciju), ime, na svojevrsan nain prkosei samoi i izdvojenosti koju namee internet, Bursaeva ponovo vraa na zajedniki doivljaj pri itanju, saznanju, spoznaji, u kome su najdragoceniji, prema nje-nim reima dugi dah i zajedniko disanje.

Osobenost veine radova u njenom dosadanjem opusu ini stanje prosijavanja svetlosti iz zapisa slikanih delikatnim nanosom zlat-ne boje, pojaanim providnou podloge (paus papira), na kojoj je, i pored providnosti, ipak prisutno odreeno zgusnue materije. Na radovima se na poseban nain otelotvoruje svetlost delikatno nane-senih zlatnih povrina, na kojima svetlost sija iz sebe sama, bilo da se radi o slikanim slovima (inicijalima), reima (molitve/Jevanelja), vi-njetama ili pak o vlatima trave u prostornim instalacijama, koje svo-jom vibrantnou i titrajem jo vie doprinose tom utisku.

Pred delima Ljiljane Bursa postajete svesni dimenzije isijavanje uz-viene, duhovne svetlosti, kako u samim pojedinanim delima, tako i u njihovom meudejstvu. Dimenzija uznoenja do stanja isijavanja

nestvorene svetlosti, postignuta na ovoj izlobi u konkretnom ga-lerijskom prostoru, u duhu je najviih dometa srpskog srednjovekov-nog umetnikog izraza u domenu slikarstva. U njenim delima sublimisana je sva poetika i skoro nestvarna lepo-ta duhovne svetlosti kao stanja uzvienog bivstvovanja, koju je ova umetnica, dubokom poniranjem u samu bit Logosa kao Boje svepri-sutne svetlosti, uspela da utka u konkretna umetnika dela.

Najnovija izloba Ljiljane Bursa svedoi o postojanosti duhovne ver-tikale, koja, i pored sve povrnosti, bezoseajnosti i pohlepe, koje se nameu kao ideal u savremenom svetu, ostaje nepresuno izvorite uvek nanovo doivljenog dubokog nadahnua ljudskog bia, i koja u njenim delima dosee vrhunske nivoe savremenog umetnikog izraza.

Light of the Revelation of Logos in the Works of Ljiljana Bursa

Enchantment. Quest. Flowing. Enchantment by the nature, by its hidden rhythm, its deep vibra-tions, by its inconceivable depths. Quest for the roots, for the knowl-edge, for the essence. Surrender-ing to flowing, to streaming, to intermittent changes The un-quenchable need for unveiling and the longing for the (ultimate) knowledge of Ljiljana Bursa guided her artistic work towards the research of artistic achievements of different civilisations and cul-tures, towards finding inspiration in the delicacy and the beauty of Chinese and Japanese scrolls or in the refined beauty of the calligra-phy/penmanship of the Serbian medieval manuscripts but also in the scripts of the Near and Far East cultures.

And after all the thrilling, seducing, unforseeable and long lasting ar-tistic searches there came the phase of rethinking the essence. Syn-thesis, reduction, taking stand.

Awareness of the Logos. Logos Intellect. Word. Letter. Logos Divine Sense. Logos the core of it all. Logos which is the source of every-thing, of all questions and answers.

And again Enchantment. Quest. Flowing. Fascination with possibilities offered by the free (electronic) encyclopaedia in discovering, in direct participation. Searching for knowledge, for disclosure. Repeated flow-ing of words, pictures, data, knowledge, now in the virtual space of current digital technology. Enchanted by the possibility that not with-standing the alienation and loneliness of the human being inferred by contemporary technologies, Wikipedia, as a free access encyclopaedia allows people to have their say, to contribute, to make impact. Possibil-ity that restores the freedom, that is,restores the responsibility for the words man (says) to himself and not (only) when observing legal regu-lations (set by the society). And completely unexpectedly, within the alienation caused by current technologies, there appears and prevails the spiritual dimension, Logos, the sense. Inspired by this the artist

creates an object / sculpture under the title Logos (2010), book in pro-gress as a manuscript consisting of new forms of scrolls containing texts about Logos transferred from Wikipedia onto a transparency film which does not allow direct reading due to its transparency. To read it, it is necessary to insert every sheet/scroll separately into an overhead camera (to enable reproduction) and thus in a specific manner and

defying the loneliness and separation imposed by the Internet, Bursa brings back to us the common experience of reading, learning, under-standing and according to her, the long breath and shared breathing are the most valuable therein.

Most of her previous works are marked by shining through of the light from inscriptions painted by delicate application of golden paint, emphasized by transparency of the ground (tracing paper), still however showing presence of certain condensation of the matter. The light of the delicately applied golden surfaces materializes itself in her works in a specific way. In them the light shines from inside its inner self whether they are painted letters (initials), words (of prayer, Gospel), vignettes or leaves of grass in her space installations which by their vibrancy and thrilling further emphasize the impression.

In front of the works of Ljiljana Bursa you become aware of the di-mension the radiation of the sublime has, of the spiritual light both in separate works themselves and in their interaction. The dimension of exaltation up to the state of radiating not made by hands light, created in this exhibition staged in a gallery space follows the spirit of highest achievements of the Serbian medieval artistic expression in painting.

Her works emanate the entire poetics and almost surreal beauty of the spiritual light as the state of exalted existence which this artist has suc-cessfully woven into actual works of art by penetrating deep the very essence of the Logos as Gods all-present light.

The latest exhibition of Ljiljana Bursa testifies the persistence of the spiritual acme which in spite of all possible superficiality, lack of emo-tions and greediness imposed on us as the ideal model of the modern world, still remains an inexhaustible source of repeatedly lived deep-est inspiration of human beings and which in her works reaches the highest peaks of contemporary artistic expression.
