Dobrodošli.

Rojena 1969 v Ljubljani,  Diplomirala iz slikarstva in likovne teorije na Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje v Ljubljani pod mentorstvom prof. Franc Novinca in dr. Jožef Muhoviča.

V svojih delih se ukvarjam s percepcijo časa, od klasičnih slikarskih medijev do kinetičnih objektov, ki jih kot instalacije postavljam v javni prostor. Posvečam se svetlobnim instalacijam, trenutno pa tudi instalacijam z vetrnicami. Ukvarjam se tudi z grafiko, grafičnim oblikovanjem in animacijo, dejavna sem tudi na polju likovnega izobraževanja, vsako leto organiziram programe slikanja in risanja v naravi za otroke in prilagojene likovne delavnice za  ljudi s posebnimi potrebami. Živim in ustvarjam v Kranju.

»Za likovno delovanje Andreje Eržen je značilno prepletanje različnih likovnih postopkov. Različne likovne tehnike so vselej povezane v ustvarjalno celoto. Razstave, ki so pogosto zasnovane v obliki prostorskih instalacij, in druge oblike javnih predstavitev poslikanih svetlobnih objektov, kot bi lahko poimenovali osrednji del delovanja Andreje Eržen, avtorica vselej tudi kontekstualno osmisli.«

ddr. Damir Globočnik,                                                                                                     muzejski svetnik za umetnostno zgodovino in likovni kritik

O vetrnicah

Ideja o prostorski postavitvi kinetičnih objektov, vetrnic  temelji na raziskovanju odnosa komponente časa naj si bo s stališča ustvarjalnega procesa, kot tudi koncepta dojemanja časa v širšem pomenu besede.  S premikanjem se spreminja tudi slikarski prostor, slika je vsak trenutek drugačna. Vetrnice so simbioza časa in prostora. Če vetra ni, je objekt statičen, ko piha pa se sličice premikajo v hitrem ali počasnem zaporedju.  Vetra pravzaprav ne vidimo, vendar si ga predstavljamo. Veter nima statične meje in potuje. 

Inside- outside, prostorska postavitev s svetlobnimi objekti

Kako bi zgledalo, če bi znali leteti in kaj bi se zgodilo, če ne bi bilo meja? Prostorska postavitev risb, svetlobnih objektov, “ready made” škatlic in videa je rezultat poigravanja z idejo kako zunanji prostor, naravo prestaviti v majhno škatlico. Na razstavi tematiziram vprašanja povezana z našimi željami in potrebami po svobodi. Kako smo danes vpeti v določen prostor in kakšna je pot med željo in resničnostjo. “Ready made” objekti, kovčki in škatlice so kot prostor kamor se shranjujejo čudesa in skrite želje.  S tematiko so povezani tudi predsodki in občutki strahu, ki simbolizirajo Pandorino skrinjico. Zračni posnetki so nastali s pomočjo jadralnega padala med svojimi potovanji po Maroku, Sloveniji, Avstriji in Makedoniji.
