Radomir Damnjanović Damnjan is a Serbian artist whose work deals with painting, drawing, graphics, photography, film, video, and performance. His art practice can be seen as an active and critical re-examination of the phenomenal and conceptual borders of painting and other mediums of expression in the second half of the twentieth century. He began his exhibition activity in the late 1950’s and participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad. Among the most notable ones were his participations at documenta in Kassel, numerous participations at Venice Biennale, São Paulo Biennial, Tokyo Biennial, and many others. Damnjan was also a Fulbright scholar in Los Angeles and New York. His work can be found in many notable private and public collections.

Damnjan has realised his art projects in various media, including photography, performance, and painting, examining his critical opinions through the system of art and culture, and expressing freedom in the choice of communication and presentation of his ideas. The painting Blue strokes indicates the ontological arbitrariness of the painterly process by appropriating a modernist understanding of the gesture as something that reflects upon the status of art and artists. Additionally, this work can be interpreted from an understanding of the daily political and marketing strategies which, through precisely defined imagery, control the population.
