She writing:


ETHIDE TO HOMELAND LANDSCAPE

Since this earlu youth Zoran Andrić has been amazed by the mill on the river Gradac in Valjevo. It represents the genesis of an ever-changing motive, vhich has, on the other hand, remained recognizable throughout his work.

The artist’s continuous dialogue with the river, made of light and colours of reflecting water mirrors, has created a commons relationship between the nature and the painter’s creative mind. Pleding for absolute independence of the painter’s vision, his expressionistic temperament tends to make endless variations of lirical abstraction.

On this way: from abstraction to experience, from experience to the realization of the vision, there is a meticulous elaboration of the well-known motive through various media techniques. This is how he made many of his media paintings: drawings, oil paintings, pastels and watercolours – all in honour of one particular landscape. Andrić’s recurrent theme is important to all his works and its realization observe of fine art and aesthetic’s aspect is a unique phenomen in our contemporary art.

As guest Russian’s home in Belgrade, Andrić present’s series of recently made watercolours – his favourite technikue, by which he is widely known as one of the best masters in our countru. These watercolours are made of abstracts transparency characterized by a chromatic balance of harmony and contrast, which leads to the creation of intimate poetic sounds. Each of the sounds has its innate rhythm which subtly dynamizes the surface, suggesting endless calm movements. The new paintings refer to a spiritualized strength poetic imagination, creating highly individual works, unlimited and infinite in their scope. In addtion, the tanqible lyrical sensibility permeates Andrić’s paintings.

From there the dialoque with a spectator is unintentional and subtile, but Andrić’s action is impenetrable at a first glance. It seeks attention, trust and observation and it is only then that a modest-sized paintingenriches the spectator with a multi-layered beauty of pure art.


"ZORAN ANDRIĆ: A PAINTER WITH SPECIAL SENSIBILITY

... If the colour in Andrić's paintings has a life of its won, each of its tones is made by a different gesture - elongated, circular, inclined, pastous, dynamic, descriptive, undulating -every imaginable way that will contribute to the strong impression that makes these works unique.

When the painting is finally finished, one can face a work of a particular colour, nowhere to be seen in the nature, leading the expression to the highest peak.

Only after it has been expressed by Zoran Andrić's unique artistic language will the natural motives adress us in a different way, affecting all our senses, transforming colour into energy, gesture into sound and a universal speech of natural phenomena into a supreme artistic experience."

Professor Jasna Jovanov, art historian (2006. cataloque)
