a tabloid poster for solo exhibition, lecture and workshop, 2017
In 2017 West Virginia Wesleyan College brought me as a Visiting Artist to Buckhannon. Sleeth Gallery, a contemporary art gallery, was the venue for my 6th solo exhibition Graphic Ambassadors of a Country. At the opening of the show, I presented a lecture about my visual research. I also did one hour long artistic workshop for the WVWC students. The tabloid poster presented on this page was used to announce all these events. That solo exhibition showed my process of creating new dinars. The portraits of the famous Serbs, that I placed on my banknotes, were reused in poster design. The female portrait in the upper right corner represents Milena Pavlović Barilli (1909-1945), surrealist painter, illustrator and poet. In the upper left corner, there is a picture of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić (1787-1864) and his birth house in Tršić. He was a philologist, linguist, and the major reformer of the Serbian language. The world-famous inventor, electrical engineer, and physicist, Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), is shown in the second row. The powerful Tesla coil, an electrical resonant transformer circuit, was used as the poster’s background. In the third row, there is a portrait of Slobodan Jovanović (1869-1958), lawyer, historian, and politician next to the architectural detail from the National Assembly in Belgrade.
