The paintings of Goran Djurovic (born in Belgradein 1952) are Kammerspiele--scenes set in anenclosed space. Using traditional techniques in afree way, his compositions explore perennial issuesof human existence. Djurovic's characters seldomassume an active role; they observe and registerwhat happens. The painter's richly textured uni-verse is all about looking. "I'm interested in humanbankruptcy, in failure. We all side with the losers,"says the painter, "and being aware of that is bothsad and beautiful." Goran Djurovic studied paintingin Dresden, and lives and works in Berlin.
