NENAD NEDELJKOV
Study II
paintings and video
On Thursday, March 13, at 7 p.m., the exhibition of paintings and videos Studio II by Nenad Nedeljkov will open.
Nenad Nedeljkov’s various conceptual and thematic interests are determined by his current artistic moment on the human figure and the possibility that the motif of the body responds to the desire for the visibility of the incorporeal. Therefore, on the basis of being and the body, a contribution is made to the eternal unraveling of the universal order, in the context of perishability and inexorable finality, and spiritual imperishability and biological vitality.
In an exceptional interweaving of digital and manual formative procedures, the artist creates variations of one and the same motif. A centrally composed cutout of a figure, with outstretched arms as in a crucifixion, is anatomically and graphically defined or almost completely distorted or reduced.
The two-channel video work Studio II is directly based on the cycle of variations in mixed media, entitled Studio, and represents its very successful extension, while the video Outside the Area suggests the flow of time and the cosmic rule of continuous movement.
Nenad Nedeljkov was born in 1971 in Zrenjanin. He graduated in painting from the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad. He received his master’s degree in digital art from the Interdisciplinary Studies Department of the University of Arts in Belgrade.
