Geometrija 2011

Dragan Ilić Di Vogo made this painting called Geometrija, and its earthy palette feels ancient, like it was pulled straight from an Egyptian tomb. I imagine Di Vogo layering these colours, slowly building up the surface. The painting is a puzzle, a mindscape. I wonder what it was like for Di Vogo working on this piece, stepping into this weird world of geometries. There's a strange but striking combination of the literal and the metaphorical, the real and the imagined. The artist shares with us a kind of open-ended experimentation, a process that’s more about seeing where the painting takes you. And in that spirit, we are reminded that painting is an ongoing conversation, a vibrant exchange across time.
