Released after his solo exhibition at The Holburne Museum in Bath (17 November 2016 – 5 March 2017) and coinciding with the exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Somerset (19 January – 7 May 2017), this title highlights Djordje Ozbolt’s recent work, reproducing the artist’s sculptures, paintings and drawings from late 2013 to early 2017. The publication, produced with a clothbound cover, also features views from the artist’s studio, as well as his sketches, printed on distinct paper interspersed throughout the book.
Belgrade-born, London-based artist Djordje Ozbolt employs an uninhibited approach to the venerable genres of painting and sculpture to produce works that are disconcerting in content and construction. Infused with wit and humor, his work takes on themes of history, politics and travel, among others. An essay from Oliver Basciano, International Editor of ArtReview and ArtReview Asia magazines, explores the theme of incongruity in Ozbolt’s work and places the artist in a wider context of visual culture and art history.
