About exhibition „ A Part of Me“:

In her art Petra Kralj Fox turns the hundred-year-old needlework and ornament tradition into a modern sign. From the rich tradition of Cavtat she separates certain details and makes them stand on their own, breathing a new life into them. Original ornaments and symbols of her homeland are put into installations and graphics in a simple and readable way. Like an art speech therapist, she gives the traditional forms a way to speak and communicate with their environment once again. Petra feels the tradition and that does not hold her back from being modern, it gives more power to her expression and makes it more authentic. Everything is ripped from oblivion, a sign functions and lives in a new world without problems. (Tomislav Ćavar)

O izložbi „Dio mene“:

U svojim likovnim radovima Petra Kralj Fox pretvara tradiciju stoljetnoga veza i ornamenta u moderan znak. Iz bogate konavoske baštine izdvaja pojedine detalje i potpuno ih osamostaljuje, udahnjujući im novi život. Izvorne ornamente i simbole svoga kraja pretače u instalacije i grafike na posve jednostavan i čitljiv način. Poput likovnog logopeda tradicijskim formama daje mogućnost da iznova progovore i komuniciraju s okolinom. Petra ima smisla za tradicionalno i to je ne sputava da bude moderna, nego daje još veću snagu njenom izrazu i čini ga autentičnijim. Sve je otrgnuto zaboravu, znak bez problema funkcionira i živi u novom svijetu. (Tomislav Ćavar)
