Understanding Tomislav Nikolic: An Artist Whose Humanity is at The Forefront of His Work
Pravin Nair, Mulazine, 29 November 2024
Tomislav Nikolic recently spoke with Pravin Nair of Mulazine, a digital archive and independent publication based in Malaysia, alongside STATION's presentation of Nikolic at Frieze Seoul 2024.
Nair writes, "Light is streaming into the room from what I can assume is a skylight. Having just woken up prior to speaking to him, my eyes still adjusting to the brightness of the day and the computer screen, it seemed to me that Tomislav had a halo forming around his head.
His paintings are created for the desire of the viewer [...] like a body primed and ready for the picking. But it is singular in meaning for it is dependent on the individual. So, each piece changes but always remains the same. It is always, however, breathing."
