Juxtapoz Magazine – Stipan Tadić’s Visions of the City

We generally fantasize about sites we have under no circumstances been. There are sure cities that just outgrown their boundaries and develop into an essence, like Paris does, like London does, and of system, NYC does. NYC has a tough realism but also a fantasy component, the place its been mythologized in film, tunes and art background. For Stipan Tadić, a Croatian born painter and now NYC-dependent, the town is both equally romantic and household, a area that he can put a feeling of realism to it and also retain that romance of the put as a place all on just one portray. 

His latest display, Visions of the Town, on view at ATM Gallery, feels like his most experienced, cohesive output. There is overhead landscapes, city streets, bar scenes, practically as if a soundtrack of paint is getting visualized in entrance of you. There are evening and dusk scenes, some sense smokey and other folks have a movie video game ingredient to them. In some functions, Tadić literally provides comedian e-book aesthetics above brooding backdrops, an practically animated, cartoon seem. The gallery notes a graphic novel high quality, and that is spot-on. Occasionally our visions of a place have a duality, a tale nevertheless to be penned. In the attractiveness of Tadić’s paintings, he is dwelling within a fantasical planet, and demonstrates that house and a aspiration can co-exist. —Evan Pricco
