Fashinable Paintings

"In the case Jadranko Rebec’s group of paintings revolving around (mass) fashion, in which an emblematic field of our consumer society is tilled and playfully undermined from various angles, one is indeed permitted a few dreams. Yet – despite all of its obvious attractiveness and virtuoso lightness – it also serves simultaneously as an impetus for the investigation of what is hidden behind the surface of fashionable fabrics and exteriors, including a questioning of our accelerated time that is dominated by constant change: in the concentrated process of painting there already lies an element of deceleration, and in the result an element of duration." – Belinda Grace Gardner
