Everness, Nikola Zigon

Posted by Tamara Tasic

8 December 2009 - 5 January 2010 Everness exhibition at Gallery 212, presents the works from the latest cycle of Nikola Žigon. Paintings express the artist's standpoint on the moving threshold of matter and color. The tangle of lines, the spatial motion of the plane, the interplay of variously coloured surfaces and refined coordination of space and interspaces, are determine by emotions. A lyrical condition of the soul and artistic dilemmas are transformed into a picture - a pictural trace, which is nothing else but a kind of psychogram. “The creator of these canvases managed to get rid of all the trinkets of the worn-out art poetics and bring the painting to its very essence, to whiteness and white patina, through which, like a gentle leitmotif, like the sound of a violin, there runs a refined drawing line, presenting nothing but the seismography of his sensitivity.” Momo Kapor from the catalog Nikola Žigon was born in 1958 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He graduated in 1991, Belgrade University, Faculty of Art, painting department, class of Professor Moma Antonović. He was engaged in drawing, which consider the most important discipline of art, in video art and in installation, and after returning from Paris, where he stayed during 2000, dedicated to painting. He has exhibited in Belgrade, Paris, Munich, Portugal, Tivat ... Žigon is member of ULUS (Association of Fine Artists of Serbia). He is exclusive member of Prom Gallery from Munich, since 2002. Nikola Žigon lives and works in Belgrade. _______________________ Galerija 212 d.o.o Vlajkoviceva 25 11000 Beograd, Srbija Tel/fax: +381 (0)11 33 73 299 www.galerija212.co.rs
