Andjeo mira sa dva lika 2010

Dragan Ilić Di Vogo made this painting, “Andjeo mira sa dva lika” and it's just full of surprises, isn’t it? He mixes a classical style with a real sense of play, and that's a combo I find really interesting. Look at how he handles the paint; it's both precise and kind of wild. The angel’s wings, for example, they’re rendered with these delicate strokes, but then you have these bursts of color and texture around her that feel so free. It’s like he’s letting the paint do its own thing, which is a big part of my own practice. That contrast between control and spontaneity is what makes the piece so dynamic. It reminds me of some of Francis Picabia's later work, where he's blending different styles and approaches. In the end art is all about that conversation, those unexpected connections that keep things interesting, right?
