Izložba Everness u Galeriji 212 predstavlja radove  iz najnovijeg ciklusa Nikole Žigona. Slike izražavaju umetnikov stav o pomeranju granica izdržljivosti materije i boje. Emocije  određuju  splet linija, prostorno  kretanje plohe, igru  raznobojnih površina i rafiniranu usklađenost  prostora i međuprostora. Lirsko stanje duše i umetničke dileme su pretočene u sliku – u likovni trag, koji nije ništa drugo do jedna vrsta psihograma.

 “Tvorac ovih platana uspeo je da se otrese svih drangulija izlizane ars-poetike i da sliku dovede do same suštine, do beline i bele patine, kroz koju se kao neki nežni lajt-motiv, poput zvuka violine, provlači rafinirana linija crteža, koji ne prikazuje ništa drugo sem seizmografiju njegove osećajnosti.”

Nikola Žigon je rođen 1958. godine u Ljubljani, Slovenija.
Diplomirao je 1991.godine na FLU u Beogradu, odsek  slikarstvo, u klasi profesora Mome Antonovića.
Bavio se crtežom, koji smatra najvažnijom likovnom disciplinom, video artom i instalacijom, a po povratku iz Pariza, gde je boravio tokom 2000.godine, posvećuje se slikarstvu.
Izlagao je u Beogradu, Parizu, Minhenu, Portugalu, Tivtu…
Član je ULUS-a.
Ekskluzivni je član Prom Galerije u Minhenu, od 2002. godine.
Živi i radi u Beogradu.

The exhibition will be opened till 5 January 2010

Everness exhibition at Gallery 212, presents the works from the latest cycle of Nikola Žigon. Paintings express the artist's  standpoint  on the moving threshold of matter and color. The tangle of lines, the spatial motion of the plane, the interplay of variously coloured surfaces and refined coordination of space and interspaces, are determine by emotions. A lyrical condition of the soul and artistic dilemmas are transformed  into a picture - a pictural trace, which is nothing else but a kind of psychogram.

“The creator of these canvases managed to get rid of all the trinkets of the worn-out art poetics and bring the painting to its very essence, to whiteness and white patina, through which, like a gentle leitmotif, like the sound of a violin, there runs a refined drawing line, presenting nothing but the seismography of his sensitivity.”

Nikola Žigon was born in 1958 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
He graduated in 1991, Belgrade University, Faculty of Art, painting department, class of Professor Moma Antonović.
He was engaged in drawing, which  consider the most important discipline of art, in video art and in installation, and after returning from Paris, where he stayed during 2000, dedicated to painting.
He has exhibited in Belgrade, Paris, Munich, Portugal, Tivat ...
Žigon is member of ULUS (Association of Fine Artists of Serbia).
He is exclusive member of Prom Gallery from Munich, since 2002.
Nikola Žigon lives and works in Belgrade.

Otvaranje izložbe
Borivoje K. Radenković (1871-1952) – Oda Srbiji

Izložbu otvara
Zdravko Vučinić, istoričar umetnosti
utorak, 22. septembar 2009. u 20h
Galerija 212, Vlajkovićeva 25

Izložba će biti otvorena do 14.oktobra 2009.
 
Izložbom Borivoje K. Radenković (1871 – 1952) – Oda Srbiji, Galerija 212  ima  čast, da posle retrospektivnih izložbi održanih u Narodnom muzeju u Beogradu 1997.godine, i u Paviljonu Cvijeta Zuzorić  2005.godine,  beogradskoj publici pruži mogućnost da se bolje upozna sa delom  prvog srpskog studenta slikarstva u Parizu, Borivoja K. Radenkovića(1871 – 1952), koji je nezasluženo ostao na marginama srpske umetnosti XX veka.

Na izložbi će biti predstavljeni pejzaži, mrtve prirode, žanr scene, portreti, iz značajnog umetničkog opusa koji obuhvata period od 1900. do 1945.godine.

“… Borivoje K. Radenković  je slikao sa ubeđenjem čoveka koji voli život. Voleo je jednostavne male stvari. Zato su mu bili jednako važni motivi, kako istorijski događaji, tako i obična glavica kupusa, kaca za mleko, korito na stolici u hladu šume. I naravno cveće. Uvek okrenut svom intimnom svetu Borivoje K. Radenković  nije izlagao, nije slikao za kritiku i publiku, već je umetničke račune polagao sam sebi … “.  

 
Borivoje K. Radenković  je rođen u Jagodini, 6.maja 1871.godine. Završio je Realku u Beogradu 1891.godine, gde je  pokazao svoj umetnički talenat jer je već  kao učenik VI razreda izlagao na Svetskoj izložbi u Parizu 1889.godine. Nakon tri godine provedene na Tehničkom fakultetu u Beogradu, pretpostavlja se usled političkih okolnosti, bio je prinuđen da napusti Srbiju, što će se pokazati kao značajan korak za njegovu umetničku karijeru. 1898.godine se našao u Petrogradu gde je stupio u umetničku radionicu Dmitrieva Kavkaskog. 1901.godine odlazi u Pariz gde upisuje Akademiju Žilijen i postaje prvi srpski student slikarstva u Parizu. Kasnije se prebacuje na parisku Akademiju Kolarosi koju  završava 1905.godine. U Srbiju se vratio 1906, gde je najpre radio kao učitelj veština u gimnazijama u Pirotu, Kragujevcu i Beogradu, da bi 1920.godine izabran za nastavnika crtanja na Tehničkom fakultetu u Beogradu gde je dočekao i penziju. Borivoje K. Radenković je umro 4.januara 1952.u Beogradu.
Za sobom je ostavio značajan likovni opus koji, na žalost, ne možemo sagledati u celosti, jer su 1941.godine Nemci odneli dela iz njegovog ateljea u zgradi Tehničkog fakulteta.
Poznate kompozicije Borivoja K. Radenkovića krase prostorije značajnih kulturnih institucija u Srbiji – Krivovirska crkva u Loznici nalazi se u zbirci Narodnog muzeja u Beogradu, Niška deklaracija je u vlasništvu Istorijskog muzeja, Svečano otvaranje Velike škole u Univerzitetu u Beogradu, portret Joce Vujića iz Sente u vlasništvu je Srpske akademije nauka i umetnosti u Beogradu, a Portret mladića u galeriji Matice srpske u Novom Sadu.

Landscapes, still lifes, genre scenes, portraits, from the significant legacy that include the period from 1900 to 1945, will be presented  at the exhibition.

 „ ... Borivoje K. Radenković was painting with the belief of a man who loves life. He liked the simple little things. Therefore, motives as historical events as well as ordinary cabbage head, vat for milk,washbowl on the seat in the shade of the forest, were the equally  important for him. And of course flowers. Always turned  to his  intimate world, Borivoje K. Radenković did not exhibit, he was not painting for critique and audience, but the artistic accounts gave to himself...“. 

 
Borivoje K. Radenković  was born on May 6th 1871 in Jagodina. He graduated at the High School in Belgrade in 1891. In that period  Radenković showed his artistic talent participating at the World Exhibition in Paris 1889 as a student of the 6^th class. After three years spent at the Technical Faculty in Belgrade, due to political circumstances, he was forced to leave Serbia, which will be shown as a significant step for his artistic career. In 1898 he was in St. Petersburg where he entered the art workshop of Dmitri Kavkaski. In 1901 he went to Paris where enrolled Julian Academy and became the first Serbian student of painting in Paris. Later he transferred to the Colarossi Academy where he graduated in 1905. In 1906 he returned to Serbia, where at first he worked as a teacher of skills in the High School in Pirot, Kragujevac and Belgrade, and  1920 he was elected as a teacher of drawing at the Technical Faculty in Belgrade, where he stayed until retirement. Borivoje K. Radenković died on January 4^th  1952 in Belgrade.
He  has left behind self a significant art work which, unfortunately, can not be viewed in its entirety, because in 1941 the Germans took his works from his studio in the building of the Technical Faculty.
His famous compositions decorate the rooms of important cultural institutions in Serbia - The Church of Krivi Vir in Loznica  is in the collection of the National Museum in Belgrade, The Niš Declaration is  in the possession of the Historical Museum, The Opening Ceremony of the Great School  is  owned by the Belgrade University, Portrait of Joca Vujic from Senta is owned by Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and Portrait of young man is in gallery of Matica Srpska in Novi Sad.
