Mice JANKULOVSKI and OLGA TOBRELUTS with a joint exhibition at the Osten Pavilion of N. Macedonia at the Venice Biennial of contemporary art.

The exhibition "TRANSCODED STRUCTURES - Before and After the media in abstraction" is a great example of building an exhibition in contrast. Olga Tobreluts, a Russian artist, works with computer painting and strong colors, while Macedonian artist Mice Jankulovski takes pictures of his abstractions only in black and he does not need a computer. Their joint exhibition is opened at the pavilion of N. Macedonia, representing Osten from Skopje. The Pavilion is located at the old ka ' Zanardi Palace, next to other palaces featuring beautiful biennale exhibiennale.

Transcoder is a kind of matryoshka, where you gradually perceive and understand. The first impression is spectacular: Large Black Monochrome Canvas to many colours, crystals in circular images in polished black frames. Here, it seems to be a complete contrast to contrast: Monochrome and Multicolored, rectangles and circles, image and his absence, masculine brutality and decorative feminity. In General, yang and jin, only the male principle is black here.

If you watch the black canvases carefully, a new world opens. Jankulovski's paintings are reljef, and at another angle of lighting they come alive revealing ornaments. The Secrets of Tobrelut's works are also not understood immediately, but strangely, can be photographed. On the screen, they do not look, like traditional painting, volume, depth, but rather, on the contrary, they emphasize them. Tobreluts says the pictures are reminded of their birth. She builds her crystals - fractals, like strange flowers, in a computer, in total light, then picture them on canvas. In Natural Light, the picture becomes softer and softer, and with the return of the screen it shines again with an unearthly virtual light.

The shiny black frames from Tobleluts works appear in the light by sending light support to Jankulovski's Black Relief. Opposites, as it should, are attracted. It is intenarrow that traditional painting here is really three-dimensional and the transcoded computer just creates an illusion of volume.

Apart from light (both in the literal and the figurative meaning of the word) and visual impressions, the exhibition enables to understand that media painting is not contrary to traditional: both are created by artists working with light. The exhibition title refers to the thoughts of philosopher Willem Fluder about the significance of the synthesized image and its new relationship with the world.

"decoding" stems from the fact that the art painting always applies to a code that serves as the basis for its understanding. At the end of the 20th century, under the influence of the media, these codes were changed, which cannot be ignored in interpretation of an image, whether the painting is painted with oil in a traditional way or use media and computer images / from video The explanation of the exhibition intended for visitors.

Jankulovski & Tobreluts - OSTEN Pavilion in Venice | 7 Jun - 7 Jul 2019

UNEXPECTED DIALOGUE
Picasso & Jankulovski
Ceramics & Paintings

The **on the ArtTheEl GRECO Award for the best Artist ssaloniki #4 to Jankulovski** was presented by the Director of the ArtThessaloniki Pantelis Tsatsis and the actor and painter Billy Zane.

Pablo Picasso, the legend of Modernism and the international painter Mice Jankulovski - who is exhibiting within the Osten Pavilion at Venice Biennale and bestowed with the highest award "Lorenco Il Magnifico" at the Florence Biennale this year - will be presented with ceramics and large painting compositions at coming ArtThessaloniki 4.

A common element of the both creators is the sense of drama and the sense of play, the sense of algos and the sense of pathos that is by definition disrupted by artistic creation. Black dominates, while white and blue sets the boundaries and intensity of this unexpected, interesting dialogue.

One fact is: This year ArtThessaloniki4 has set the bar high!

Prof. Manos Stefanidis, curator 

Picasso & Jankulovski and El GRECO Award on the ArtThessaloniki 2019

The cycle of series of paintings (acrylic on canvas) started with the series "Leonardo's Circles I" (created in 2017, polyptych of 11 paintings acrylic in canvas, 195 x 2145 cm | 195 x 195 cm / each) – the holder of the highest award for lifetime achievement Lorenzo il Magnifico at the international event for contemporary art Florence Biennale 2019 with the Ars Ingenium: "Toward Leonardo da Vinci’s Legacy of Similitude and Invention " - on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of his death. The artist's work is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's study of water in which he describes the movement of concentric circles as waterfalls from a certain height that never interfering with each other. Jankulovski's works of this exhibition are part of the collection of OSTEN Museum of Drawing. Curator: Kornelija Koneska
