Nice Vasilev, artist in the Apollonia Art Commune 2009

Apollonia Foundation gives special honor to all the artist who has been part of its Art Commune by writing more about their life and work. One of the artist who participated in this year’s Apollonia Art Colony is Nice Vasilev. He was born in Dabile, near Strumica. He gradu-ated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1978. In the class of Ludwig Macong in the academic year 1971/72 he studied at the National Arts Academy in Sofia, the department (Faculty) of Applied Arts. He had been a member of the Macedonian Association of Artists since 1980. In 2007 on the occasion of 30 years celebration of his artistic work Nice Vasilev had an exhibition in Apollonia Hotel in Gevgelija.

He has realized many individual exhibitions in Europe (Madrid, Warsaw, Athens, Ankara…), the Balkan and Macedonia. He also participated in 13 group exhibitions in France (Paris), Austria , Poland, Greece, Bulgaria, Slovenia…

Nice Vasilev has won the following awards: 17th April Salon Award, Doboj 1973. Academy of Fine Arts Specila Awards, Warsaw 1977. Purchasee Award at the Yugoslavian Portraid exhibition, Tuzla 1987. Dimitar Pandilov Award, Association of the Artists of Macedonia Skopje, 2000.

On 2nd of October in organization of Apollonia Foundation in the exhibitory parlor of Apollonia Hotel was opened the exhibition of Mita Ristic, artist from Vranje, Serbia. For two weeks all art admirers from Gevgelija will have the opportunity to see twenty peaces from the cycle “Sargii” of this artist. “The arts of Ristic are made on normal art canvas and they look like “sargii” creating among the lines light irruption from which glimmers painting in painting” says Boro Petrov, artist from Gevgelija who opened the exhibition. With the decision of the Ministry of culture in Serbia, these arts of Ristic from the cycle “Sargii” are declared for national treasure.

“Each picture is world for itself, as well as general experience and basic impression. But, it is about adding a contrapunkt: space in space. The result can be given to the near experi-ence of the world which surrounds the artist, his thoughts and memories, and each part of it shown as some kind of synthesis of poetical experience and organic opus of synthesising of the early occupation of one brand new way. The artist is using the adverbial ethnographical heritage as unique part of the pictures, which will possibly have more radical part later on. If the work and style are reflection of the time in which the artist lives, then, the painting of Ristic

significantly fits with the modern esthet ical terms, means and re-sults. But, the personal language of the explo-rations, with all respect, deserves time.” says Jasminka Plavš ić ðerković (historian of arts). For more info visit the following web page www.sargije.com
