Description
Sfera u prostoru (eng. Sphere in space). Original silkscreen, 1982. Edition of 50 signed and numbered impressions on Arches paper.
Dušan Džamonja was one of the most influential visionary sculptural artists from Yugoslavia. He is also known for his architecture projects and monumental memorials that are located across the countries of ex Yugoslavia and wider. Džamonja is often called a father of this uniquely Yugoslavian commemorative sculptural movement. His artwork is a combination of organic and inorganic materials and forms. He created free space constructions of pure geometrical shapes and sculptures of simple forms. Curves, spheres, ovoids, bent prisms and cubes are combined and rhythmically repeated themselves into highly complex and inspiring designs. Sfera u prostoru (eng. Sphere in space) is atypical Džamonja’s artwork, graphic with sculptural plasticity. We can perceive a rounded form trough the thick mesh of lines in space only by it’s shadows. Abstraction of this art piece is reflected in simplicity of the shapes trough it’s complexity of the structure.
