the invisible world

zoran zugic

Zugic’s realm is one where infinite varieties of unknown-life-like forms, and semi-physical objects amalgamated beyond recognizability, are seamlessly intertwined to create ghastly yet wonderful being-world-landscape-abstractions that are both realistic and unbelievable at once. His use of light and color may suggest a cheerful impressionistic scene but his decisions about what can be superimposed, juxtaposed, or even proposed at all, appear to have been made from a perspective that defies human nature’s tendency to relate to, or even deviate from, something that could exist somewhere in the known universe. The aleatoricism of Zoran Zugic’s art lies in the one-in-a-billion chance of his vision, not to mention the unlikelihood of ever coming across an artist such as he.
