On the occasion of her first UK solo presentation, the artist combines new and recent pieces spanning 2017-2020, which introduce energy, movement and rhythm to the sober gallery walls. Here, curious objects in coated plywood are set afloat, liberated from the conventions of the canvas; they take on elegant yet suggestive elementary forms — from protruding balls to “alien eggs”. Finally, the exhibition culminates in a powerful and poetic turn: new pieces wherein the masterful layering of screen print and collage techniques see to a clustering of colours, which lend themselves to the appearance of Black Holes (2020).

Continually experimenting with and beyond the borders of her practice, Jankovic seeks to “work outside the frame”. Honouring this approach to work, Element of the Game continues into Cheshire Street with a special series of site-specific, public interventions. Playfully referred to as “collaborations without consent”, this suite of dynamic murals see Jankovic at her creative height — improvising, as she works over and with existing street art.
