1/24th of a Second

Description

Nenad Kostic’s recent paintings are invitations to pause to appreciate images that, as individual frames in digital or motion pictures, race past our eyes at a speed of 1/24th of a second. In the tradition of copying ‘Old Masters”, whose objective in painting was to capture a moment in time, Kostic’s homage to contemporary ‘masters’ is to portray, literally, that singular moment in a single frame. Considering that Kostic is deconstructing films, it’s almost ironic that he is formally trained and identifies himself with traditional oil painters.

Inspired by films, mostly animated ones, the artist paints a manufactured nature, one that exists as images projected into our consciousness by digital and motion pictures moving at 1,440 frames per minute.
