Tomislav Čeranić

L’HORIZON CHIMERIQUE

November 18 – December 7, 2014

RING GALLERY

Whereas in the majority of artists drawing has a preparatory or accompanying status, in Tomislav Čeranić’s work it holds the status of a finished artistic result, autonomous sculptural organism, map that registers and brings to light the flow of labyrinthine path of the author’s extremely subjective imagination. For decades now Čeranić has been proving to the anxious modern world, in attractive and artistically compelling ways, that drawing can justifiably compete with other modern methods of artistic expression. Establishing drawing as independent and completely finished work, an autonomous discipline and independent creation, this artist of delicate and refined spirit does not decide to refer to the perceived reality, but instead he opts for escapism as the principle of detachment from the material interpretation of reality, for the creation of fictional worlds, purely fictional construction of images and shapes. In Čeranić’s work the utopianism of fictional reality, created with unique and virtuoso-drawings, segmented in interesting and always and completely, and in all aspects articulated cycles, comes before the message that the other media – when referring to reality – send to the observer in a clumsy way. Unlike the – old and new – figuration we usually encounter in the work of the local environment, his figuration is completely deprived of eschatological messages, and the only thing he wants to achieve is to provide himself with the opportunity for free self-disclosure in the conjunction of erudition and poetry, in a unique version of visual “schizotext“. Therefore, there are no artists in Croatia who are similar to him in style or language. Such artist remains an independent individual who speaks in the first person. He is more interested in using the language of autonomous sculptural logic and citation – it is like he is stateless, he remains enclosed in his own small intimate fictional world, but familiar, open and attractive to the visual sensibility of the present observer, who is thus easily motivated to dive into the meditative and subliminal space behind and below the image.(From the foreword Drawing as «schizotext» of  Ivica Župan )

CURATOR: Vinko Srhoj

Tomislav Čeranić was born in 1961 in Šibenik. He graduated in Art History at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade.
