BIJANKA BACIC: THE WANDERING DOT

KÖNIG GALERIE is pleased to present The wandering dot, a solo exhibition by London-based artist Bijanka Bacic.

January 16 - April 5, 2026

The exhibition brings together a new body of works that examine the mark as a living, active element, one that produces meaning through movement rather than fixed representation. Bacic’s process unfolds through a sequence of translations. Each work begins with a film photograph that serves as an anchor to the external world. These images are then reinterpreted in small gouache drawings where contours soften and color fields shift.

When brought onto canvas, the image undergoes a further transformation as stripes of oil paint are introduced, crossing the surface in alternating rhythms that conceal, reveal, and redirect attention. Through these interventions, the initial scene steadily gives way to an exploration of gesture, structure, and material presence.

Across the paintings, lines wander and drift. Dense accumulations open into spare passages. Marks appear, dissolve, and reassert themselves, creating a field shaped not by stable forms but by forces in motion. In this environment, the wandering dot becomes both a visual trace and an unfolding event. Here the hand finds purpose through movement, negotiating pressure, resistance, light, and time.

The works invite viewers into an experience of oscillation. Images hover between recognition and dissolution, intention and chance, figure and field. Rather than delivering a single reading, the exhibition opens a space where gesture, surface, and temporality interact. Meaning emerges through the encounter between viewer and mark.
