About the Item
This 27" x 19" monochromatic graphite and charcoal drawing by Serbian artist, Bojan, is rendered in a hyper-realistic manner. A dog is the main subject in the lower right corner facing the left, with his leg lifted against the stone wall, presumably urinating with the word “FREEDOM” scrawled on the wall in large, uppercase, red letters. The choice of red for this inscription adds a layer of emphasis and draws the viewer’s attention, while the urinating dog creates an allegory that represents the ignorance and unawareness of the current social and political climates. Above and to the left of this inscription, the wall features a closed window with dark shutters, positioned within an arched stone alcove, adding a sense of depth and realism to the scene. To the right of the window, is a much smaller, rectangular niche within the wall that holds a depiction of a soldier or figure upon a horse, an element that encourages the recognition of history and antiquity. Below the window, next to the dog but positioned in the bottom left corner, a small vent is visible within the stone wall, further enhancing the detailed nature of the drawing. The combination of these elements creates a thought-provoking piece while highlighting the juxtaposition of freedom and ignorance.
Bojan Grozdanovic Grof is a self-taught artist currently based in Zaječar, Serbia. He was born in Niš, Serbia in 1973 where he grew up with an interest in art and the world around him. When he was 18 years old, he witnessed the division of his country by civil war, which would later affect his art. At the age of 20, he went to Germany and gained his first international experience, doing mostly commissioned work. He believes that art, in any form, is closely related to every aspect of today’s social lifestyle. Bojan Grozdanovic Grof critically examines, through his art, the cultural conditions of today's society. Part of his artistic creation refers to the social perception of the rejected and forgotten, the right to freedom, poverty, war and to everything that corrodes a society. He is an advocate for raising awareness of all human impact on animals and wildlife and often finds inspiration in everyday objects that surround us. Although he likes to express himself through painting, for a long time now, his main focus has been on drawing. Using charcoal and graphite, through the strong contrast of black and white, he tries to emphasize that we live in dramatic times and that we need empathy now more than ever! His original drawings and paintings are included in private collections in Italy, Germany, Austria, France, Serbia, Israel, Montenegro and The United States.

'No Way Back #3, ' by Josette Simon-Gestin, Mixed Media Pastel Drawing
By Josette Simon-Gestin
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
In this 16" x 20" ink and pastel drawing on paper, Simon-Gestin depicts what appears to be a young woman isolated within the darkened archway of an architectural setting. The smiling face of a larger female figure looks on from the left margin of the work - a possible 'guardian' or 'protector' of the younger girl. The ground of geometric shapes surrounding the figures are filled with organic shapes and contouring lines in warm tones or dark line.
This work is from Simon-Gestin's "No Way Back...
