Our audience had the opportunity to see the works of the artist at the October Salon in 2018, and now they will be presented for the first time in Serbia as part of a solo exhibition since Darja lives in the US and exhibits primarily in European and American galleries and museums. The latest works, canvases created in 2022, will be presented in the November Gallery. The exhibited works explore themes of duality, sacrifice, and transfiguration through mutated fragments of personal photographs and binary theological symbols. The works are made in different techniques - UV printing, acrylic, spray, graphite, oil, and steel.
The exhibition runs from the 25th of May to the 26th of June 2022. Gallery doors are open daily (except Mondays) from 12 to 8 PM; Saturdays, from 10 AM to 6 PM and Sundays, from 10 AM to 2 PM, addr. 22, Kursulina street.
