Exhibition ‘Layers of Infinity’ by GORDAN NIKOLIĆ
New Moment Gallery was delighted to exhibit the works of Gordan Nikolić, an artist who is rarely exhibited even though he is a recipient of numerous awards. The solo exhibition “Layers of Infinity” by Gordan Nikolić was held on 24 March 2017.
“This selection of recent works by Gordan Nikolić mark a significant shift from previous concepts, namely there is an absence of recognizable motifs. He built his art practice around figurative painting with a focus on faces and masks, however, his recent works are abstract,” says prof. Ješa Denegri.
The selection of the exhibited works will be an opportunity to emphasize the author’s operative process, that is, his layered construction and further our understanding of the complex nature of Nikolic’s creativity.
The exhibition will be opened by prof. Dr. Vladimir Kostić, President of SANU and Professor of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Belgrade. The exhibition was on until 24 April.
