Jozica Medle, painter, graphic artist, designer and doctoral student at the Department of graphics of the Zagreb Academy of Fine Arts, based on several years of study and systematic research of the history and manifestation of counterpoint in various artistic directions, through an analysis of its analogical development in music, dance and art, prepared an outstanding artistic counterpoint on the topic of Ecology. She created a graphic cycle in which she followed counterpoint on three levels – with a piercing delivery of contrapuntal content, with a well-chosen and well-read artistic language on individual graphic sheets, and with the overall design and layout of the exhibition, in which the consonance of individual works weaves the story at the highest level.
The basic elements of Jozica Medla's graphics on the primary layer are outlined and defined by unmimetic and immaterial image formulations, which have their own anti-voice, point-to-point on the higher layers. The basic antigens of terrestrial non-terrestrial organicity are reciprocally linked to narrative existential photo-figuralism and letrism. The accumulation of artistic elements, points and lines, which are organically necessary and ubiquitous in nature, is opposed by monochromatic anthropomorphic and zoomorphic forms of white shadows, black bodies and bodily voids or absence. With contrapuntal layering, stringing and compositional stacking, the author creates an artistic cantus firmus.

Jožica Medle, slikarka, grafičarka, oblikovalka in doktorandka na oddelku za grafiko zagrebške Akademije likovnih umetnosti, je na osnovi večletnega študija in sistematičnega raziskovanja zgodovine in manifestacije kontrapunkta v različnih umetnostnih smereh, skozi analizo njegovega analognega razvoja v glasbi, plesu in likovnosti, pripravila izjemen likovni kontrapunkt na temo ekologije. Ustvarila je grafični cikel, v katerem je kontrapunktu sledila na treh nivojih – s predirljivim podajanjem kontrapunktične vsebine, s smotrno izbrano in ubrano likovno govorico na posameznih grafičnih listih, ter s celotno zasnovo in postavitvijo razstave, pri kateri sozvočje posameznih del spleta zgodbo na najvišjem nivoju.
Temeljne prvine grafik Jožice Medle na primarni plasti začrtujejo in opredeljujejo nemimetične in nepredmetne slikovne formulacije, ki imajo na višjih plasteh svoj proti glas, svojo točko proti točki. Osnovna antigena zemeljski nepredmetni organskosti se recipročno vežeta na povedno eksistencialno foto-figuraliko in letrizem. Akumulaciji likovnih prvin, točk in črt, ki so v naravi organsko nujne in vseprisotne, nasprotujejo monokromatske antropomorfne in zoomorfne oblike belih senc, črnih teles in telesnih praznin oz. odsotnosti. S kontrapunktičnim plastenjem, z nizanjem in kompozicijskim zlaganjem avtorica ustvarja likovni cantus firmus.
