NIKOLA SAVIC : Switchroom

13 Dec 2012-2 Feb 2013

Overview

Salon Vert is pleased to present new works by Serbian artist Nikola Savic in his first exhibition with Salon Vert titled Switchroom. For the very first time in the UK Savic is staging a major solo show which centres on his distinctive paintings made on steel and paper. Coming from a never-exhibited-before body of work produced in the last two years, Savic’s exuberant colour palette and bold compositions emerge as new permutations of neo-formalism, where blocks of colour define the form in the image. Following the tradition of the monochrome and its resulting flattened perspective, Savic ventures beyond these plastic elements to expresses a new abstract language in object painting. Known mainly for his neo-formalist work on canvas, Savic this time has decided to introduce his usual raison d’être on stainless steel panels and paper.
