Damjan Kovacevic

Additional info:

Damjan Kovačević graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, Serbia (2008). Damjan Kovačević is an unpredictable, explosive draftsman with a drawing universe that emerges from fantastic, symbolic, esoteric, mythological and biblical frameworks. Before us stands an expansive, dynamic draftsman whose world and motives are exceptionally rich and obsessive. Personification of that primary, primordial human scream and a demonic face of reality is accomplished within an intricate, iconographic and vast world, alongside with whirl-winded, vibrant incises on paper made with a fountain pen. Kovačević's medial assemblage of northern natural expression and unique Mediterranean algorithms prefigure the prodigious dimensions of real and tragic. Damjan exhibited in many numerous shows in France, Germany, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Hungary, Macedonia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
