Mihael Milunović, Ghetto (west end), 2007, oil on canvas, 130x80 cm
This artist’s paintings have always been provocative and intriguing. In this series, the artist is showing the city as the main stage for an entire spectrum of contemporary subjects and phenomena, which are integral parts of our lives. Fast-food restaurants, porn movie theatres, and gas stations make a huge stage for ephemeral spectacles of media culture and consumer society. Painted in the characteristic Pop-Art manner, with bright colours and in an almost comic-like language, these images are finding an immediate way to the viewer’s mind.
