He wanted to give the audience something new, so he decided to present them with the view from his windows, Trebjesa, Budoš and Pusti Lisac from his perspective, how they look when the sun bathes them, and how they look when they go to rest.
"I can't keep repeating myself. I want to say something new and then I was thinking about what to do and the idea came to me to make these views from the window. Everyone who comes to my place admires how nice the view I have from the window and terrace," he said. Krsto Andrijašević, a famous Montenegrin artist with a unique expression, about the exhibition "As Seen from My Windows", which opened at the Nikšić art club "Kultivator" this weekend.
The artist who breathed into his drawings, paintings and sculptures sincerity and purity, simplicity and warmth, everything that comes with it, made an effort to transfer that unique, warm, chaste Andrijašević style to his landscapes.
"I try to make sure that the presence of man is felt in each of my works, no matter how abstract the form," said the artist, whose identity card is his works in which he weaves himself and his world.
"And so Krsto Adrijašević, the doyen of Montenegrin contemporary art, with landscapes on 14 small and one large canvas, convinced me that his thought in reduced colors with ink, acrylic, watercolors, felt-tip pens... and today, just like when he was a boy in Balosave, he searches for the eternal - what lies beyond the celestial infinity... And that this thought, through the harmony of the visual and the emotional, through the combination of figuration and abstraction, created beauty and offered it to us," said the journalist. Sonja Vlaar Vujadinović, opening the exhibition.
As she pointed out, Andrijašević, with the very title of the exhibition, drew attention to the fact that "it is not seen, but seen, so this beauty is not the one that intoxicates at first glance with its luxury and decorativeness."
"These windows are in Nikšić, Nikšić is in these landscapes, the signature is the Nikšić artist Krsto Adrijašević, and the exhibition is in the representative Nikšić cafe gallery Kultivator. But, the Nikšić story of Krsto Andrijašević is also Viluš and Podgorica and Bar and Rome and Moscow and New York... and every person, because everyone has their own windows, and we have Krsto Andrijašević. Therefore, unburdened by theoretical knowledge about the processes of creating a picture, techniques, genres, styles... let us find our horizon and a trace towards the sublime in these landscapes and thank the artist for this gift, and the Kultivator gallery for this opportunity," said Vujadinović.
Ivana Gardašević read an excerpt from the book “Memories and Something Else” that Andrijašević published last year and which will be promoted next month in Nikšić’s “Zahumlje”. The book, the second one that Andrijašević has published, the first being “Djevojački vez iz Balosava”, also contains one of his homework assignments from the seventh grade of elementary school on the topic of the cosmos, which Gardašević read.
