Description
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. The artist had numerous solo exhibitions in Serbia, some of the important ones are: (2023) If I were a prehistoric Dürer, Belgrade City Museum's Salon, Belgrade; (2021) Exhibition Dies Dimidius, Gallery Sanjaj, Belgrade; (2019) L’Aube d’un Soleil Greffé , Galerie Boris, Paris; (2018) Observatory of spirit, TransformArt Gallery, Belgrade; (2016) Drawings, Gallery of Art Museum of Montenegro, Atelier DADO Gallery, Cetinje, Montenegro; (2016) Drawings 2012/2015, Art Gallery Canvas, Belgrade; (2014) Fantastic dream from 1884, Gallery ULUS, Beograd; (2013) Spiegel der Welt, Contemporary Gallery Smederevo, Smederevo; (2012) Valley Kalchreuth, Gallery '73, Belgrade; (2011), Exhibition of the awarded Laureate for 2010. from the fund Vladimir Veličković, Gallery HAOS, Belgrade; (2009) Installation, Der Achtetag, Dusseldorf, Germany.
