New Works by Dragica Milunovic 

Dragica Milunovic's practice is influenced by a minimalist, process based aesthetic and its central technical concern is mark making. Her work explores a defined range of mark making through the investigation of its materiality, scale and colour.  She works with a specifically restrictive marking methodology that is immediately evident on viewing the works. What may take longer to appreciate however, is that each mark acts in some respects as a mantra and painstakingly records the persistent progression of the painting’s making;: a personal gesture inscribing time. That these marks are records of time spent on the painting, manifestations of the process.

A further objective in the paintings is to achieve an intriguing illusion of depth imbued with movement and to convey a feeling of transcendence in the viewer. Variation in the density of marks, and slightly uneven edges and ridges in the painted marks help to create a texturally vibrant surface.

Rene Robles. Master Artist In the 1950's there was abstract expressionism. In the 1960's there was pop art, and from 1970 to the present, a steadfastly growing diversity in art has developed. What all these developments have in common is that they reflect developments in their societies. Art is not static, it continually seeks a new way of visual expression. In the 1950's and 60's artists followed particular stylistic disciplines and their results were distinct. In the last three decades, however, diversity destroyed every form of discipline. Artists use recycled materials and can go back and forth in time from the ancient period to the present for their subject mode which can mutate or combine with others, resulting in a different art form. - Written by M.

Republika I Paintings by Manuel Garibay

Emmanuel Garibayy Another tantalizing work is The Republic, representing a bloated figure of indeterminate gender occupying almost the entire space of sky and ground. Strikingly, the nose of the male/female character considerably projects beyond the face to a narrow point, in a self-evident reference to the lying Pinocchio, at the same time that a finger points back to the figure’s own person. He/she/it clutches a hefty book (the Constitution) to the chest along with a sheaf of loose grimy pages (the proposed changes).  Meanwhile, a person, buried in the ground up to his nose, ruminates on the underside of the giant’s barong, revealing its curious underwear. - Written by Sightings / Alice Guillermo

Permanent Magenta Paintings by Dragica Milunovic

Dragica Milunovic It's quite exciting when you're knocked out by the visual impact of a painting. That's just the kind of effect we've come to expect from Dragica Milunovic's work and she certainly doesn't let us down in this exhibition. Here she offers a collection of fourteen works, ranging in size from 150 cm square to 5 cm square, each composed of cross-hatched lines made by the point of a small brush dipped in tints and tones of a single colour. - From a 2007 exhibition review (partial) by Judith McGrath.
