Panorame stalnog kretanja naziv je izložbe Gordane Bakić, jedne od zanimljivijih slikarica srednje generacije na hrvatskoj likovnoj sceni, koja će se po prvi puta predstaviti splitskoj publici sa dvadesetak recentnih slikarskih ostvarenja. U proteklih trideset godina konstantnim radom uvjerljivo je potvrdila svoj umjetnički identitet, ali i sposobnosti njegova neprestanog nadograđivanja. Njezin prepoznatljiv rukopis pri oblikovanju perfektno dorađenih slika, izraženo velikih dimenzija, inspiriran je prirodom i organskim formama i strukturama, kao i tehničkim/tehnološkim te arhitektonskim rekvizitorijem. Čitava površina radova ispunjena je vibrantnošću linije, neprekidnim kretanjem minucioznih, multipliciranih formi, izmjenama ritma crtovlja i oblika u prikazu zgusnutom do maksimalne zasićenosti. U stvaralačkom procesu, Bakić ostvaruje razigrane imaginarne zemljovide nekog, prije svega višeg stanja svijesti, a ne kakve realne topografije. Znalački i pripremljeno pristupa činu slikanja što je razvidno iz samog djela, iz svih sastavnica koje ga sačinjavaju. Slike su promišljene u svim aspektima svoje pojavnosti: konceptualnoj, izvedbenoj, likovnoj i ikonološkoj. Svakoj dionici stvaralačke prakse autorica pristupa s punom sviješću o baštini kojoj pripada, ali i sa samosviješću osobe koja jezičnu konvenciju slikarstva rabi na individualan način.

The exhibition titled Panoramas of permanent movement by Gordana Bakić, one of the more intriguing painters of the middle generation on the Croatian art scene, shows twenty recent artworks and is the first presentation of this artist’s work in Split. Over the past thirty years, through constant work, she has convincingly affirmed her artistic identity and her ability to continuously evolve it. Her distinctive style in shaping meticulously crafted, large-scale paintings is inspired by nature and organic forms and structures, as well as characteristic technical/technological and architectural features. The entire surface of her works is filled with vibrant lines, continuous movement of intricate, multiplied forms, and changes in the rhythm of the lines and shapes, reaching a maximum level of saturation. In her creative process, Bakić creates imaginative landscapes of a higher state of consciousness rather than any real topography. She approaches the act of painting with expertise and preparedness, as evident in the artwork itself and in all its components. The paintings are thoughtful in all aspects of their appearance: conceptual, performative, visual, and iconological. The artist approaches every aspect of her creative practice with a full awareness of the tradition to which she belongs, but also with self-awareness as someone who employs the stylistic conventions of painting in an individual way.
