Nebojša Bežanic’s rich, meticulous, timeless art is reminiscent of certain works by Jérôme Bosch, with its meticulous writing and the multiplicity of themes and characters in a single composition. Using mixed media and detailed drawing, sometimes verging on the miniature, Nebojša evokes mankind, his destiny, his discoveries, his epics, paradise lost and the tumultuous events that have marked the centuries.

La plage (ou l’avant-dernière plage de l’avant dernier jour du monde), 2021
Ink, watercolor and acrylic on paper mounted on canvas
150 x 330 cm (3 x 150 x 110 cm)
This is art that questions, fascinates and incites reflection on the world and humanity. In this world populated by symbols, the tiniest details of anatomy, monuments, objects and animals – sometimes indecipherable, minute – are painted with rare precision, and require close examination to uncover all that they contain.
The previously unseen and recent works on show at the gallery are in the pure tradition of the artist’s work, while at the same time reflecting current events with a pitiless, dizzyingly realistic style. The diabolical and delirious scenes collide to evoke the worst turpitudes of our contemporaries, with great lucidity and not without an acute sense of humour and dark laughter.
