About the Item

Gardens V is an oil on canvas painting by the Croatian artist, Zoran Šimunović from the series GARDENS. Dimensions are 145 × 145 cm (57 x57 in). The artwork is sold framed. Dimensions of the framed artwork: 147 x 147 cm (57.8 x 57.8 in) The artwork is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. This work brings together a range of elements that emerge against a backdrop washed in pale pink and yellow hues. At the forefront stands a turquoise figure, framed by vivid red and green foliage. All of the artist’s series are deeply interconnected; he views each one as a natural progression of the last. The GARDENS series continues his exploration of the significance of art and its constant presence in everyday life, following the path established by his earlier works. By depicting ordinary, familiar objects, he reveals the visual richness of reality and encourages the viewer to recognize artistic potential in the world around them. This series highlights female nudes intertwined with lush motifs of plants, leaves, and flowers. In some pieces, the artist introduces a new emblem—the heart—which adds a clear reference to love within his vibrant universe. “What were once inflatable dolls in his previous works have now become real women, depicted with soft curves and flowing hair—a kind of Eve inhabiting Šimunović’s paradisiacal gardens. […] Alongside these figures, his familiar motifs return, inviting viewers to interpret their meanings and the relationships that unfold within each painting. […] When wandering through Zoran’s creative worlds and gardens, one never knows what may appear—but it always surprises and delights.” — Valentina Bach For Zoran Šimunović, art is above all an act of play and joy. His outlook on life is intensely optimistic, and through his work he aims to evoke positive emotions or warm personal memories in the viewer. To achieve this, he uses sophisticated combinations of bright, inviting colours. He draws inspiration from his surroundings and from simple objects that make up his daily life: toys, fruits, furniture, plants… These seemingly ordinary yet meaningful items spark his curiosity and imagination, finding their way into his paintings. “Some of the things I paint come from my childhood, others are from more recent times. Their age doesn’t matter. What matters is the emotion they awaken in me. Sometimes it’s difficult for artists to reveal their intimacy to the world, but I don’t have that problem. Perhaps it’s because I’m always happy with my paintings—they give me pleasure and happiness, and I hope they have the same effect on the audience.” Through a distinctive and harmonious blend of figurative subjects and abstract elements, Zoran constructs imaginary, poetic worlds filled with symbolic connections waiting to be decoded. These narrative and introspective works convey his memories, emotions, and dreams, while simultaneously resonating with viewers through the personal interpretations they inspire. The exhibition view is taken from Zoran Šimunović’s solo show “Gimme a Kiss”, held in 2025 at the Klovićevi dvori Gallery in Zagreb, Croatia.

Pink, from the Inevitable Feeling Series, 2016
By Misha Milovanovich
Located in New York, NY
Misha Milovanovich Pink from the Inevitable Feeling Series, 2016 Acrylic & oil pastel, ink, enamel and celulose paint on canvas. 72 x 59 cm Hovering between painting, drawing and watercolour sketches, her new work represents a form of personal expression that is less concerned with the impact and novelty of popular culture and more about the quiet uncovering of emotion. Her trademark organic forms are still present though now they are empathetic rather than explosively joyful. The colours are softer, somewhat washed out and hazy, as if half-perceived or remembered. The colour palette and the energy of the mark making reference to the now buried source material -  abstracted Hentai illustrations, Japanese manga-infused depictions of male dominance, rape and power fantasies. The never-satisfied, always distracted state in which this dislocated field of sexual aggression persists stands in for our instantly redundant, surface only culture- transactional, bullying and ephemeral.   Her paintings are sensorially rich and and yet muted, the masses of fleshy intersections and writhing calligraphy feel like they are moving out of the immediate present and floating up out of time.   They are soaked in the in nuances of early modernism- Klee, Miro and Matta. She explores emotive, expressionistic tender spaces in these lyrically rendered conceptual paintings - densely layered works that operate in the enigmatic gaps between rational structure and spontaneity. Misha also echoes Kandinsky and his sensuality of musical movement, evoking his concerns with the spiritual, all emerging naturally from the rich soil she has carefully laid down in her previous work. The language and texture of her materials are important to Misha who prepares her own pigment- paying great attention to form, surface and the moment-to moment physicality of her practice. Misha Milovanovich is a Belgrade-born artist living and working in London. Misha works across several mediums, from sculpture to painting and live art. Characterised by vivid colour, optical movement and energetic visual cadences, Misha's visual work fuses a diverse repertoire of images and forms. She often features discarded shards of consumerism - unloved icons of disposability and careless consumption. Misha's work is often a symphonic abstraction. Her colourful, densely layered works are held in a state of tension between order and chaos, rational structure and spontaneity. She combines depth and surface relief, orchestrating bold contrasts of form, texture and space in her pictures. An intimate colour palette of bodily fluids - red, pink, white, black, yellow and brown - animate the writhing forms and the refracted memories of cartoonish cultural production. A cultural polymath, Misha is constantly engaged in observing society and it’s distortions of desire, lust and attitudes to the body. Traditional techniques have been studied and absorbed and although her work is partly conceptual, it's execution always reflects these hard won technical abilities. Misha's main subject matter is emotion, so naturally her work is highly personal and biographical in ways that create a direct, emotional response from the viewer. Empathy and the universals of human experience - passion, nostalgia, desire and disgust are inescapable in her work. Misha is herself a ‘displaced’ person, having left Serbia for London in her late teens she still carries within her a ‘stranger’s perspective’ and perceives the world as an outsider, someone ever alert to the non-verbal subtleties of communication. Misha's artistic progenitors include her mentor Martin Kippenberger, Wassily Kandinsky and Phillip Guston as well as contemporary artists Gilbert and George, Keith Tyson, Robert Pruitt...
