Aleksandar Todorovic

Born 1982, Belgrade, Serbia.

Aleksandar Todorovic graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade with a Master degree in Fine Arts. Having exposed to a dramatic collapse of major moral and cultural values, along with the break-up of the Yugoslav republic and the Balkan civil wars years after, the Serbian artist is particularly sensitive about world geopolitics and its effect across the globe. This period proves to be crucial in the formation of the artist’s visual language, as he sees the hierarchy of a religion or a political system as one and the same. They both imply and require worship, of either individuals or ideas. The concept of evil is embodied inside the core of his artistic investigations, its origin and consequenses are attempted to be approached by Todorovic from different perspectives.

Merging with an illustrative, scrupulous and accessible visual style, the artist challenged and overthrown general visual codes of Orthodox tradition, advertising and Western pop culture. His work depicts the essence of traditional medieval Byzantine painting aesthetic and features, with a sense of politically incorrect humour, vivid colours and symbolic texts.

1982 年出生於塞爾維亞貝爾格萊德。

Aleksandar Todorovic畢業於貝爾格萊德美術學院，並獲得美術碩士學位。 這位塞爾維亞藝術家經歷了道德和文化價值觀的淪亡、南斯拉夫共和國解體緊隨多年的巴爾幹戰爭，Todorovic對世界地緣政治與其影響特別敏感， 這些都孕育了他的視覺語言。對他來說宗教或政治制度的權利架構乃一體兩面，因為它們皆引申且渴求對個人或思想的崇拜。 邪惡的概念正正就是Todorovic藝術探究的核心，他試圖從多角度來探討邪惡根源和後果。

Todorovic挑戰並推翻了東正教傳統、廣告及西方流行文化一般的視覺規範，融合成一種具說明性、精細和易於理解的視覺風格。 他的作品以政治不正確的幽默感、生動的色彩和象徵性的詞彙，描繪了傳統中世紀拜占庭繪畫美學的精髓和特徵。
