Vera S.
Stanarcevic
“…Vera Stanarcevic drawings “ Town of Silence “
are temples of solitude. Seductive shapes reaching out from the walls.
They are enticing in their silvery serenity riddled with sweat of
martyrdom. For a moment, it appears as if the Earth’s revolving is
constrained, and a question arises; could one descend from the Earth… or
perhaps escape the forethought of the rational? The senses, lulled by the
harmony of what was seen and what was not experienced and by the
contradictory unison of dread and hope, slowly and in a seeming manner
give way to the spirit (which is, in itself, derived from the soul, or is
it the other way around?). The premonition spreads its wings… and the
impossible, all of a sudden, becomes the only possibility…”

These can be letter
elements, or only geometric groups. Their diversity and richness in form
and color, often refined relationships, constitute the basic features of
this artist's style.Other concepts have been achieved by crossing the
vertical and the horizontal, summed up with the impression that everything
redundant is removed.The color scale is unlimited, but as a rule it is
held at medium tones.

Dragana Rodic
In terms of form, technical characteristics of
linoleum, with the emphasized black and white relations of surfaces and
lines, plans supported by colliding
shapes in the front and purified texture in the back, allow the
development of a completely exceptional integrated art form.
The author provides a clear example of the
ability to balance the abstract demands of art with the need to worthily
represent the object itself. Having clear and firm contours, they are
permeated with restrained movement, and by their symbolic meaning, this
depiction is brought to the degree of metaphysical tuning up. And until it
is silenced in its last circle, the swing ride will be remembered through
the correspondence of imagination and knowledge which, hopefully, will
follow Dragana Rodic in her quest for new challenges.
