"Stairs" (2021) 摄影 由 Vukašin Delević

In this artwork the attention is expressed to reveal the essence, and not the exterior decor, to find prototypes and not the reproduction of the visible. These searches introduce the holder to a state of "onirism" (waking sleep) from which emotion and poetics are recognized. The magic of these dreams is achieved by skillfully combining shots and an extraordinary sense of a kind of "collage procedure". Starting from real forms of architecture, blended into often recognizable ambiences, the artist repeats motifs - frames, making visible their extension in space. This procedure creates boundary lines and the form becomes fluid and dynamic. By a special procedure - light-dark, and in a clearly nuanced tone, they "show" the space, without using the means of a formal perspective. To create an atmosphere and mysticism, a half-tone was retained, which makes the dimensions of the space unreal. By painting real prose of life, the artist inserts human figures with clearly marked portrait lines and figures that are only facts of existence. By showing us the layers of events and time, and scratching them from the surface to the bottom, the artist manages to materialize time and space. The woven figures, sometimes with exact facial features, create a sensation, but most of them are just ideas - emblematic beings, with the help of which events and time are recognized. Delević's play with forms is not arbitrary and is not a search for pure beauty, but an expression. Not accepting any established path, he chooses freedom, considering it unacceptable to limit himself by presenting the real, but it is implied in his work. From the very beginning, Delević creates an illusion, because he strives to convey the experience as it is in his imagination.
