Predrag Dimitrievich returns it with dispassionate<br \/>\nvengeance. It&#8217;s checkmate from the get-go. These are bear-trap visual<br \/>\nconundrums of geometric splendor. Predrag D. engineers impossible<br \/>\nvirtual nestings of pure space and form.<br \/>\nThey are plotted ten moves ahead and as satisfyingly intelligent as a<br \/>\nwatchmaker&#8217;s palace of function.<br \/>\nEvery element seems to rhyme itself into being as a cerebrated echo of<br \/>\nthe whole. They are puzzles without beginning or end, trance-circuit<br \/>\nmazes to tease your retinal brain. The sophisticated drawing harks back<br \/>\nto the complicated mechanics of another era. But the elegant,<br \/>\nunforgettably mysterious solutions hint at the behind-the-scenes<br \/>\ninsanity of advanced contemporary science. Predrag D. makes no<br \/>\nconcessions to the twin love-buttons cute and funny. These are<br \/>\ndemanding paintings that, if you&#8217;re not careful, you might well fall<br \/>\ninto. Unlike their utopian forebears of the 1920s and 60s, they<br \/>\nregister an anxious and unrelenting logic that refuses to synthesize at<br \/>\na simple glance. They are raindrops in the optical pond, leading you in<br \/>\ninsistently to super-highways of thought.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_drwing_2_306.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5621\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5621\" src=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_drwing_2_306.jpg\" alt=\"null_drwing_2_306\" width=\"306\" height=\"397\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">Donald Carroll<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_drwing_3_306.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5622\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5622\" src=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_drwing_3_306.jpg\" alt=\"null_drwing_3_306\" width=\"306\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_no_1_306-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5624\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5624\" src=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_no_1_306-1.jpg\" alt=\"null_no_1_306\" width=\"306\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_no_1a_306.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5625\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5625\" src=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_no_1a_306.jpg\" alt=\"null_no_1a_306\" width=\"306\" height=\"305\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_no_2_306.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5626\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5626\" src=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_no_2_306.jpg\" alt=\"null_no_2_306\" width=\"306\" height=\"308\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_no_11_306.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5628\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5628\" src=\"\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/null_no_11_306.jpg\" alt=\"null_no_11_306\" width=\"306\" height=\"388\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Non-objective painting is a form of madness lost to civilization some<br \/>\n20 years ago.
