CONTINUITY OF ABSTRACT THOUGHT

– MAX BILL – KNIFER –
– DAMNJAN –
– ILJOVSKI – BRTKA –

11 – 29 October 2024

SKC Gallery

Kralja Milana 48, Belgrade

The inspiration for the gathering of five different and versatile artists with rich, multidisciplinary oeuvres was the Swiss artist Max Bill, who left a big mark on the development of conceptual and, above all, concrete art, from which minimal and op art later developed. As a Bauhaus student, from an early age he acquired knowledge that included a combination of design, architecture, graphics, painting and sculpture, which influenced that such an approach to work remained with him for the rest of his life. We also notice the multidisciplinary oeuvre of the other exhibited artists Radomir Damnjanović Damnjan, Julij Knifer, Bora Iljovski and Mira Brtka – in their own way. What brought their works together to be in the same exhibition is precisely the aesthetics of concrete, primary, minimal art and a common language that evokes geometric abstraction. The audience will, therefore, in one place be able to see works from mostly the same time period (from the sixties to the nineties of the 20th century), but which were created in completely different environments, naturally, according to the sense of the flow and development of contemporary art at that time. The works that will be exhibited, mainly works on paper and graphics, depict an important segment of their different, yet similar, approaches.
