We invite you to the opening of Buzzing of the Matter, solo show of visual artist Đorđe Stanojević, on Thursday, 17.03. at 18h in Novembar gallery.
Exhibition presents work that are part of the most recent series of the artist who is recognized for his connecting of nature and art. Đorđe Stanojević is intensively researching various methods of painting with nature. Exhibited works are built upon the artist’s former research where his interest in the connection between energy and matter is at the heart of his work. Investigations into nature’s micro-cosmos and macro-cosmos and its forms, the processual character of natural flow, emergence and disappearance, the temporality of the phenomenon and all its phases, the movement, and dynamics of relationships in the living world, the beauty of natural changes and forms – are at the essence of Đorđe Stanojević’s attention.
Images presented in “The Buzzing of Matter“ spill out of the canvas frames. Their energy fills the spaceand us, who are observing, as well. In an instant, the gallery morphs into a temple – our interaction with the painting permeating the silence. While the paintings before us, unhinged, disperse their revitalising “radiation”, they become a relic of sorts – the piece retrieves its “aura”, once seized “in the era of mechanical reproduction”, says the curator of the show, Ana Simona Zelenović in the exhibition catalogue.
