About the Item
Abstract artist, Viktor Mitic created a series of large oil paintings en plein air called the rain paintings. What distinguishes these emotional landscapes, including Marking No. 9 is a muted palette and coloured shapes that suggest showers, thunderstorms, hail, and even puddled water.
“…there is a strong suggestion of synaesthesia with sound and colour in these paintings, as if a visual music present in their composition lifts them to a multisensory expression.” Canadian art critic, Gary Michael Dault
Serbian-born Viktor Mitic earned a BFA from the University of Toronto in 1995 with studies in art history at Sheridan College. He has exhibited his post-Pop inspired paintings, prints and colourful abstract sculptures at the Muramatsu Gallery in Tokyo, The Armory Show in NYC, Art Chicago and in Toronto. His work is held in corporate, private, and public collections.

Viktor Mitic
Painter Viktor Mitic is best known for his use of firearms as an artistic tool. Depictions of celebrities and historical figures riddled with bullet holes provocatively reflect on the senselessness of gun violence.
Mitic was born in Belgrade, then part of Yugoslavia and now the capital of Serbia. While in compulsory military service, Mitic came to see the gun as a potential medium for his art. He later moved to Canada, where he graduated with his BFA in 1995 from the University of Toronto. That year, he completed a portrait of Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, which he presented in a formal unveiling at the prime minister’s office in Ottawa.
Mitic’s fame grew in 2008 after he displayed his most controversial piece, Hole Jesus, at Trias Gallery in Toronto. It drew widespread media attention. Over the following years, he made more works featuring images of well-known people, shot up with a .22 caliber pistol.
Mitic has participated in exhibitions around the world, including a 2008 show at the Muramatsu Gallery in Tokyo. In 2010, he presented his acclaimed Art or War collection at Gallery Moos in Toronto.
Although he has produced art in other media — including sculptures — his bullet hole paintings remain in demand with collectors. Mitic continues to create art that intrigues and confounds critics and viewers.
