Djordje Ozbolt. Birdsongs of Praise

About

Djordje Ozbolt’s playful, fantastical, deliberately absurdist and sometimes provocative practice juxtaposes ephemera from popular culture and motifs from art history with social commentary and personal narrative. Born in Belgrade, formerly Yugoslavia, Ozbolt – after living in London for over three decades – is now based in central Serbia, near the Rudnik mountain range, where he has created ten new paintings of fictional birds perched on branches in wild and abstract landscapes. His newest works, all executed at the same intimate scale, are presented on religious icon boards lined with walnut tray frames. Birdsongs of Praise marks the artist’s seventh exhibition with Herald St.
