Paintings and drawings

Gallery 212, Vlajkovićeva 25

The exhibition will be opened till 13 October 2010.


After five decades of work, and several cycles, including the last Belgrade on Meteors, Moma Antonović exhibits the latest cycle of paintings and drawings Houses of unknown owners.

“… each painting is a world in itself, a separate being, and it is only the subject that includes it into an entirety, each painting a piece in a mosaic; each work of art brings its own sign around which the solution to the composition is resting. The sign dictates and resolves the composition; the deep expressiveness and fantasy that span from the lyrical passages to the dramatic and thunderous epic. Pictorial, strong, succulent, fresh, enthusiastic, refined and new; Antonović has turned another page and set a big, precious layer over the tissue of Serbian painting, and more than that!“
