Miroslav Antic New Work Miroslav Antic's newest work is a beautiful culmination of themes and thought processes that have concerned him for some time. In the broadest sense, Antic teases the viewer to share in a dialogue he engages in, that between the traditional depiction of deep space and the modernist achievement of flatness. Antic paints breathtaking images of Old World beauty, distant mysterious figures caught in eerie monochromatic darkness. He then paints over them a layer of water drops, like rain that is collected on a window during a stormy night. The effect is multi-fold- Antic technically re-enforces the flat picture plane, as well as conceptually distances and bars us from his illusions of beauty. Antic's work is evidence of his persistent struggle with the concept of beauty in an age when minimalism and conceptualism threaten to denigrate such an ideal to begin outmoded and conservative; or conversely, when the tendency to nostalgia threatens to make beauty merely sentimental and sweet. Miroslav Antic is able to walk a fine line between both views, drawing the viewer into a gorgeously crafted dialogue between the past and the present, what is real and what is fake, what is valid in the tradition of art and what is not.
