The exhibition of paintings and drawings by the academic artist from Nikšić, Vasilisa Radojević, will be opened tonight in Podgorica, in the space of JU Museums and Galleries, at 19 p.m., and the exhibition will be on display until March XNUMX.
The exhibition will be opened by curator Selma Đečević, MSc, who will sign the introductory text of the catalog "Being Between Success".
"Vasilisa's art is the art of a postmodern loner and a medieval alchemist. She is looking for mental and emotional engagement. In her works, the tanatic organization and the principle of hope are visible. Her world is the world of artistic truth, which, with unbridled, expressive power, testifies to the existence of its entity above the apparent reality. In the end, Vasilisa is a surrealist whose aesthetic play turns every observer into a dreamer," Đečević pointed out in her text.
She noticed that at the center of Vasilisa Radojević's art is a figurative representation of the imaginary world. He also adds that the artist's inner world depicts "various beings that belong to subjective reality" that "only associatively resemble animals or have the forms of female figures, but with a more precise analysis of the form we notice that these are forms that realize their existence in some cosmic, rather than anthropological, vastness".
"There is something suffering and sublime in her paintings, and especially in her drawings: in the female figures trapped among winged deformed animals that fill every free space of the picture like a swarm of bees, and do not let the finesse of an act of insensate beauty achieve the foreground. In the case of Vasilisa's painting, the woman is not a sensuous constituent of the aesthetic object, but rather a symbol of the intangible, ideal and spiritual. She is in constant dynamism with chthonic forces, which gives her drawings and paintings a dramatic perspective.
Vasilisa Radojević graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade. She is the winner of the first prize for painting, which is awarded every ten years to the best student. At the Dubrovnik Art Salon in 1982, she received the first prize for drawing. She won the first prize for painting called "Piper" in 1987 as the best young painter who held an exhibition in Rome. She exhibited at numerous solo and collective exhibitions throughout Europe, the most important of which are in Madrid, Paris, Rome, Monaco, and London.
