Exhibition of Paintings by Milan Aleksić “Recognition”
The exhibition of paintings by Milan Aleksić titled “Recognition” will open on Wednesday, 16 July, at 7 PM, in the exhibition space of the National Bank of Serbia at Slavija, Nemanjina 17.
In the catalogue for the exhibition held at the “Bata Mihailović” Gallery in Pančevo in 2024, Vladimir Kolarić – Serbian prose and drama writer, art and culture theorist, and translator, writes the following about Milan Aleksić’s paintings: “In Aleksić’s works, we see references to painting and sculptural artworks of the past, but also various forms of visual representation – from screen-based and digital, to structures such as digital mapping, schematic representations of constellations, and the like. This playful engagement with the possibilities of image and human perception, underscored by a strong cultural context, gives Aleksić’s paintings, i.e. his vision and artistic mediation of reality, an exceptional dynamism, richness, complexity, and multi-layered meaning. In his paintings, Aleksić does not renounce representation and the responsibility toward reality and its understanding, or our participation in it. Through their dynamism, the works plunge into the invisible aspects of that reality, into the very structure of reality itself, which cannot be separated from its perception and our human involvement in it.”
Milan Aleksić (1979) completed his master’s studies in painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 2014, in the class of Gordan Nikolić. He is a member of ULUS (Association of Fine Artists of Serbia). To date, he has held ten solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions both in Serbia and abroad, including: the International Exhibition in Rome, Venice Art Night, the “Cvijeta Zuzorić” Pavilion in Belgrade, the Tivat Art Salon Pean–Sindik, and others. His works are part of both private and public collections. He lives and works in Belgrade.
The exhibition will be on view until 30 July, on weekdays from 10 AM to 6 PM.
