There
is so much irony, spontaneity, criticism, persuasive self consciousness, and
sobriety in Kaludjerović's paintings that one would think the artist
without a doubt at least 40, and that he took the last decade very
emotionally. The paintings are stratified, complex and they represent an
excellent foundation for discussion about life in our country.
Kaludjerović,
a senior student at Belgrade
Academy of Fine
Arts played with maps on which he painted scenes from a life that
represent the heritage of socialism. There are paintings of war, wedding
and of a period of life we lived so long ago that we even don't remember
it anymore.
The
Paintings are warning and threatening us, but still they represent the
reality that we all went trough, a reality we mustn't forget so that we
don't repeat it. Dejan's strength lies exactly in the strength of the
expression, and in the way of presenting the artistic theme he chose. An
artist with great ideas and an even greater chance of fulfilling them.
