SPARTAK DULICH06-29-2018

Spartak Dulich belongs to the generation of artists who emerged in the nineties at the time when multi-media art became mainstream form to which converged a multitude of artistic disciplines and procedures of post-conceptual art practice. Although he had academic education, his poetics early on included the art of installation and performance. His simultaneous experiments with sound and text, as well as aesthetics of comics and street graffiti, made him a true representative of the generation that considered avant-garde the self-evident strategy of connecting academic and popular cultures, and who practiced it spontaneously. Conceptual, material and technical aspects of this extensive creative discourse, Dulić most distinctively unites in the painting segment of his oeuvre.

Dulich is one of the most versatile artists of Vojvodina, and his artistic practice besides painting includes performance, installation and sound works. The colours of Dulich‘s paintings are intense, but his painting method is what distinguished him the most. His paintings are unique blend of the tradition of organic abstraction and abstract expressionism with aesthetics and methods of contemporary urban mural painting. (Branko Franceschi)

FROM THE PRESS

Playing about with formally abstract elements and organic forms he varies microstructures, unreachable to the eye, in over dimensioned relations that consequently loose connection with the real world and, on the line of surrealistic thinking, intrude into the sphere of fantasy. Author deliberately emphasizes the impression of restlessness and irrational chaos by systematic and precise reproduction and networking of motives in which the organic, seemingly independent, follows its consequent path.

His paintings are unique blend of the tradition of organic abstraction and abstract expressionism with aesthetics and methods of contemporary urban mural painting. 
(Vecernji List) 

Determined by formal and media innovations, which emerged as results of scientific and technological progress, the contemporary art practice is partly evaluated and legitimated by the artist’s intention to, while creating new forms of communication, expose new forms of dissolving of the already existing frames.
