""THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK" Aleksandar
Sasa Bukvic." is an accomplished European-born and educated artist, a
sculptor by vocation, whose artistic aspiration led him to wear his own
mask proudly and extensively. By debunking the seriousness of the art,
and rejecting the distinction between good and bad taste, his work could
be broadly classified as Pop art (if that means anything to you). But,
what you see is a vast gallery of characters, innumerable portraits on
ceramic tablets, posing as unconstrained art objects. They convey a
pureness of expression, simplicity of articulation, precision of
execution (with a lucid geometrical surface treatment), and, enfin,
superb use of colours: vibrant, expressive, articulate, brilliant,
direct, talkative and communicative, but never repulsive, dull or
depressive. It's possible to view them both as various pieces of a huge
puzzle or as single art objects. Sometimes, being self-sufficient and
self-contained, they do not need anyone; but sometimes they crave for a
companion, someone to talk to, or to relate to, thus forming a duo, or a
trio, or a quartet. Each mask is intrinsically interwoven with its
title.
