The Serbian artist Petar Mirkovic draws. His pictures look like cool excerpts from an all too familiar Hollywood film. In reality, he stages his subjects with meticulous precision: with protagonists, he stages his templates at night in a suitable setting. Photographers, lighting technicians and extras are part of this elaborate staging. In the studio, the resulting settings are transferred to paper in a slow process with the help of charcoal. Whether depictions of cars, yachts or even the view from an aeroplane, the works appear at first glance to be undercooled black-and-white photographs, but are in fact pure drawings.
For the first time, Petar Mirkovic's works will be presented at the bechter kastowsky gallery in Schaan. The opening will take place on Wednesday 26 August and the exhibition will be on view in Schaan at Poststrasse 48 until 26 September.
