Exhibition Ivan Andrašić

About the exhibition

These watercolors that you see are not just related to today's day, just because their water-soluble tissue and the clot that opens and close them depends on how you look at it and what kind of moods you are. Just today, with these clouds, rain is actually the perfect set design for this show. Watercolor is my favorite technique, which is why this exhibition is extremely dear to me. And not just for that. In today's age of domination, if we are talking about art - oil on canvas, graphics ... What has a 'good pass', it is bold and commendable to express itself in a technique that has its own mindset that does not always allow you to have your will or mistakes . It's not easy to express in watercolors, though it looks very simple. Here, much deeper and wider, this is a deeper inspiration. When someone looks at the picture, you can see that Ivan Andrasic does not work the cycles as if to break the knife. This inspiration goes through all of its phases - said the Ivan Viđen and added that each of the images is a window for meditation.
