ABOUT THE ARTWORK

“Poor little Rich” is a character I created. He is an entitled rich heir who is always crying and unhappy… Even though he is wearing nice clothes, he is sheltered from the rain by his servants with an umbrella, his limousine is ready to take him anywhere, his fancy estate is protected with a tall iron fence, he is never safe from the horrors going on outside—the apocalypse, the world falling apart in a fiery storm, the collapse of all civilization. My “Blockheads” cycle is inspired by the urban environment and the visual style of street-art culture. It comprises painted wooden-beam sculptures and large-format acrylic paintings with two-dimensional characters that fulfill their individual block of space in their own “mentally limited” way. In the Blockhead acrylic paintings, I approximate street-art murals inspired by urban life: larger-scale compositions with the Blockhead characters in various urban settings. These are all images, scenes, and characters from our everyday city lives and our contemporary popular culture, by which I attempt to portray the current society we are living in—analogously to the paintings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Hieronymus Bosch, or James Ensor, who all played with the grotesque, thus offering their critical commentary about the life and people of their own time. My portraits are stylistically very different, of course, since I was brought up with video games, comic books, animation, graffiti, and street art.

Multi-media artist, working both in traditional and contemporary fine art forms: printmaking, drawing, painting, sculpture, design, photography, video, animation, net & interactive art, graffiti art, and electronic music. Although first and foremost he considers himself a graphic artist, Andrej Marjanovic works a lot in both multimedia and in many classic arts techniques (painting, sculpture, and drawing). But it is less known that he was also a graffiti artist during the emerging Skopje graffiti culture of the 1990s, working under many pseudonyms (НДРЈ/NDRJ, ЧКЉ Кру/ CHKLJ Crew, Право гето/Real ghetto). Since about the same time, he was part of the birth of the Macedonian underground electronic music scene under various pseudonyms (NDRJ, Partybreaking Inc., Кисела куќа/Acid House), using sampling as his main constructive technique. From 2000 onwards, he works professionally in branding, graphic design, web design, photography, video production, audio production, and animation. With regard to technique, Andrej Marjanovic is always interested in experimentation, innovation, and intermediality. In his interartistic and intermedia fine art explorations, he is often inspired by music, comic books, street art, computer art, video art, video games, and film. Whatever the technique, medium, or application, his art stylistically gravitates toward the minimalist, symbolic, and abstract, always grounded on deeply deliberated concepts, a critical approach, autoreferentiality, and humor. He was born and raised in Skopje, but from 2014 he lives in the Prespa area.
