Von Buren Contemporary is thrilled to announce the upcoming exhibition Interwoven, featuring the compelling works of two distinguished artists, Kristina Milakovic and Marco Stefanucci. This duo exhibition promises to be a captivating exploration of the interplay between contemporary artistic expressions and historical pictorial traditions.
The title Interwoven aptly encapsulates the essence of the exhibition, highlighting how both artists intertwine modern concepts with the rich tapestry of art history. This thematic approach is a hallmark of their respective styles, inviting viewers to engage with the past while contemplating the present.
Kristina Milakovic: A Journey Through Landscape
Kristina Milakovic, born in Belgrade in 1976, brings a unique perspective to the exhibition. Her work evokes the spirit of early 19th-century landscape painting, characterized by vivid colors and a brooding atmosphere. Milakovic’s canvases transport viewers to a world where nature’s beauty is both enchanting and haunting. Her artistic journey began at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, where she honed her skills and developed a distinctive voice. With numerous exhibitions and art fairs under her belt, Milakovic has established herself as a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene, both in Italy and internationally.
Marco Stefanucci: Mastery of Technique
In contrast, Marco Stefanucci, born in Rome in 1970, delves deep into the techniques of the Old Masters. His work is a testament to his rigorous study of art history, where references to classical techniques and themes serve as the foundation of his artistic practice. Stefanucci graduated in Graphic Art and the History of Contemporary Art from La Sapienza University in Rome, and his expertise is evident in the meticulous detail and depth of his pieces. His exhibitions span across Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, England, and Luxembourg, showcasing his ability to bridge the gap between historical art forms and contemporary sensibilities.
A Dialogue Between Past and Present
Interwoven is not just an exhibition; it is a dialogue between two artists who, despite their different backgrounds and approaches, share a common thread in their exploration of art’s evolution. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how contemporary art can draw inspiration from the past while simultaneously challenging and redefining it.
