NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Serbian artist Aleksandar Bun i in The Manifestation of Milieu. Any art lover who enjoys thought-provoking artworks and meeting talented and interesting artists is encouraged to attend.
Serbian artist Aleksandar Bun i believes that “artists have to move with the times.” Blending classic oil painting techniques with graffiti, Bun i emphasizes the link between traditional and urban elements. His creative process begins by layering acrylics and oils on canvas, and then scratching or layering spray paint to produce the desired graphic effects.
Bun i’s architectural works take their inspiration from abandoned buildings, bridges, and stadiums, and from the geometry of crystals and their characteristic orientations. Bun i is interested in vulnerability, breaking points, and the creation of new forms. Marked by crisp, clean lines or curvilinear patterns, his works range from urban cityscapes to geometric abstractions. “I aimed to echo reality,” says Bun i of his earlier work, “whereas now I feel the need to deconstruct it.” He achieves this by exploring the energy and clarity present in industrial structures. Triangles act as a key shape in these constructions, where straight lines, geometric angles, and flat expanses work together like the interlocking shapes of a puzzle. The artist was born in Novi Sad, Serbia, where he continues to live and work.

About the Exhibition
The World Behind the Figure: The Manifestation of MilieuSo often, art exhibitions focus on the form of the individual, either abstractly or figuratively. In the exhibition The Manifestation of Milieu, sixteen artists look beyond the individual and at the world around. Exploring context, both environmental and temporal, these artists question the form in how it may interact with its surroundings. Whether in harmonious landscapes or tumultuous abstracts, in elemental colors or stark simplicity, these artists manipulate their media in order to investigate the importance of environment, the concept of contexts, the manifestation of milieu.
