Ivana Bašić is a Serbian-born artist who has carved a niche in the contemporary art world with her profound explorations of the human body's vulnerability and transformation. Born in 1986 in Belgrade, Serbia, Bašić moved to the United States, where she completed her Master of Professional Studies at the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, in 2012. Bašić’s work is a contemplative journey into the post-human condition, employing a variety of materials such as wax, glass, steel, alabaster, and oil paint. Her technique integrates tangible mediums with intangible forces like breath, pressure, and rigidity, imbuing her sculptures with a haunting life-like essence that reflects the fragility and resilience of human matter. The color palette she selects—shades of pink, white, and earth tones—evokes the visceral elements of blood, bone, and flesh, further emphasizing the corporeal focus of her art. Her distinctive approach has garnered international attention, leading to solo and group exhibitions across prestigious venues worldwide. Notably, Bašić has exhibited at the KUMU Museum in Tallinn, Estonia; The Whitney Museum in New York; the 6th Athens Biennial in Athens; the Hessel Museum of Art in Annendale-On-Hudson, New York; and the 57th Belgrade Biennial in Serbia. Her works are also featured in the permanent collection of The Whitney Museum in New York.
