The Origin of the World

Aleksandar Bašić and Paul McPherson Gallery presents The Origin of the World. In Aleksandar’s second solo exhibition, he’ll be unleashing a collection of 17 ink and mix-media drawings/paintings. This collection of geometric- abstract works are inspired with realistic figurative artworks of Gustave Courbet and semi abstract style of Paul Cézanne.

Although Aleksandar Bašić ‘s geometrical artworks may appear to be abstract, the artist himself is invariably concerned with the figurative. For him, the idea arises out of the process of connecting simple shapes, lines and subtle colours. He works with ink and sometimes uses material, consciously and subconsciously preserving symbols and rejecting realism. To fully reject realism is not the aim for the artist as he likes rather to preserve recognisable elements or symbols which will allow the viewer to stay alert and study the work.

This Aleksandar Bašić ‘s exhibition presents a collection of works over the period of last three years. Earlier works helped in the process of creation and preparation, for this reason they are on the modest scale. Later works, tough more structured and detailed, often with added elements of collage (cut-outs), human hair and spray paint are on the large size. Even with the modest scale of Aleksandar’s work he manages to create intrigue with a figure and that tantalising pleasure of seeking out the figurative elements which has hinted to thrill viewers.
