BIO

Goran Jureša

Goran Jureša graduated and got the Master’s Degree from the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, Serbia. He is currently working on his PhD thesis at the Academy. The artistic categories he has been dealing with are painting, drawing and collage. In the process of creating his works, he engages in exploring the fields of history, literature and art history. His work tries to convey the notion of ontological conflict between good and evil, as well as the inescapable connectedness of these two poles of the human nature. The expressiveness of his drawing is based on the subtle relationship between figuration and abstraction on the principles of deconstruction. The most significant exhibitions in his career are a solo exhibition Pictorial Sacrifice in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Vojvodina in 2014 and two exhibitions of his drawings and collage from the series The History of Chocolate in the Gallery of the Cultural Center of Vršac and the Gallery of Contemporary Art in Pančevo in 2012.
