Springboarding from the dynamics
and images captured from live
TV broadcasts, I bring the match to
canvas. Here the game reopens and color,
lines, and forms takeover from the players
to interact in the expression of the event.
In 2007, I created two series for
specific shows; my personal show
in May featured imagery from each
of the 2006 games that led Italy’s
Azzurri to become World Champions
and in August a group show “Djela i
knijige” featured works that explored
motifs from matches that Croatia
played between 1994 and 2006. The
intertwining fluffs and fibers that I
massage into felt interact much the
same as the layering, working and
reworking of paint in the oils.
