U pravu ste 2016

Dragan Ilić Di Vogo painted 'U pravu ste' with dreamy strokes of colour that conjure the liminal space between reality and imagination. I can imagine the artist's hand moving across the canvas, a ballet of its own, layering delicate washes of pastel and bolder, more assertive marks. I wonder what Di Vogo was thinking about when they made this? Was it a memory, a dream, or something in between? The texture of the paint seems smooth, inviting, with each carefully placed detail suggesting the artist's intimate relationship with their medium. The gesture of the ballerina tying her shoes suggests more than just preparation, maybe also a quiet moment of reflection. This piece reminds me of other painters who explore similar dreamscapes; artists like Remedios Varo or Leonora Carrington, who blurred the lines between the conscious and unconscious. 'U pravu ste' reminds us that art is a conversation across time, an ongoing exchange of ideas that pushes us to see the world in new and unexpected ways.
