content=""Marjan Najdanovic brings energy of enthusiasm and self-esteem of the youngest generations of Pirot’s artists (exhibits since 1993).
Starting from symbolic-expressional inheritance Najdanovic portrays man above all, “Single person that burns down in restlessness of his soul” getting closer to a sort of post-modern monumental expressionism.
Paintings demonstrate orientation toward expressionistic face and body exploring and searching for psychological impulses of human being.
His work is guided toward exploring frustration of human condition, human upsets, disorientation and estrangement of man in era of modern civilization.
At the same time this is a quest for altered being of modern man and for his existential hopelessness and fears that marks existence in partially sterile and frightening hermetic world of modern age.
His emotionally inhibited man is trying to get rid of dogmas, come out from tight skin of today’s man and escape to some desired freedom known only to him. That’s the cause of his metamorphosis in human figure presenting, characters deformation and gesture vehemence that gives extra tension to human figure and let it to “struggle” on doubtful background whiteness.
Expressively accentuated incarnation and contrast background symbolize the eternal struggle between light and dark, struggle of human nature made of counter-punctuality of the Good and the Evil.
Insisting on white color brings to the paintings a dimension of hope, new beginning and new opportunity.
