Untitled_Drawings_100x70_2016

The Untitled series explores process, materiality, and artistic resistance through spontaneous and experimental practice. Created within BIGZ—once Belgrade’s most vital underground hub—these works embody an urgency to act outside institutional frameworks while simultaneously confronting their limits.

Working on uniform paper formats (100 × 70 cm), I blurred the boundary between drawing and painting, layering and erasing in a cycle of constant transformation. The rawness of this method was central: each work emerged as a reaction rather than a predetermined image, channeling subconscious responses to an environment in flux.

The visual language oscillates between transfiguration, pop iconography, and the raw energy of street culture. Rather than aspiring to assimilation, these works stage an ironic refusal of integration, reflecting the precarious position of a young artist in a context where access to institutions is increasingly restricted.

In this sense, the series became both a critique and a record of transition. BIGZ itself was undergoing change—its utopian promise fading even as new forms of culture emerged. Untitled captures that tension, affirming instability not as failure but as a condition for artistic survival.
