In his foreword, Josip Zanki<\/strong> emphasizes:
\n\u201cHe then proclaims, in a manifesto-like tone: \u201cIn my works, I explore the segments of easel and wall painting (easel and wall).\u201d The artist, through deliberate repetition or sardonic paraphrase of a parroted statement, which is often heard among adherents of the anachronistic concept of painting as an identification with what they are engaged in, confronts us with the fundamental postulates of the space of the painterly space. These include the imagined wall of the studio, which in this case is transformed into the wall of Karas Gallery, the easel, three chairs, and the remnants of chairs transformed into painting-objects. Sito transforms objects and wall into a work of art, rethinking the ideas of ready-made, appropriation and anti-museum practices. Much like Vladimir Dodig Trokut, Sito transmutes and alchemises everyday, discarded objects. Interventions with paint or engraving do not aestheticize the object but rather integrate it into Sito\u2019s ascetic\/reduced visual language.\u201d<\/p>\n
