Viktor MiticMonochromatic Variant- dark, abstract, pop art, painted aluminum sculpture2019
2019
About the Item
Captivated by the colour, form, and pattern of paint splatterings on the floor of his Toronto studio, artist Viktor Mitic re-imagined them as compelling abstract sculptures. Monochromatic Variant was created from photos and sketches he made of the paint marks manipulated on a computer. Mitic’s colour palette is often bold and bright but this aluminum table-top sculpture is painted a shiny jet black.
“I would go back and forth between paper and computer and at one point I would paint them in vibrant contrasting colors. I would look for something in color and in shapes that would make the whole structure dynamic and live.” Viktor Mitic
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.
