About The Artwork

...It is in this spirit that Matoković, as he says, approached the new work from a totally fresh perspective, unburdened of and liberated from his previous socially engaged themes, finding inspiration for a new piece in – a building. The artist was impressed by the building of the Art Pavilion on which the earthquake had left its devastating handwriting. He was impressed by the cracks arising from this natural disaster. But in them he does not just see mere material damage, for his artistic spirit sees in the damage an artistic work, he photographs the cracks and addresses them as fragments of a drawing that the earthquake left to be seen on the monumental building. With this act he places the fragments of the building on which damage is visible as platforms for some new solutions, artistic ideas stemming out of the catastrophe. Later he will give shape to these artistic ideas in the medium of the print. He uses the fragments in the printmaking process itself, transferring them to the zinc plate and placing them almost as historical artefacts – at both the mental and the visual level – re-composes and deconstructs them for the sake of a new construction. Matoković points out that “setting down these ideas also takes it for granted that the person carrying out the work will become a part of this damaged and currently non-functional building that is of such great importance for the national culture and art”. We would agree with this evaluation and add that, in the same way, setting down this idea is at the same time the artist’s emotional dedication to the Art Pavilion and that his graphic record, as lasting memory, remains a witness of bygone times. From the preface of the solo exhibition in Art Pavilion is Zagreb, Croatia
