Zrinco Hatvolic
“Through the Window of My Gods”
Oil on canvas
1.
How
Hatvolic uses deconstruction of
images through dream and by using non-traditional ways of painting. He uses his
fingers to paint and only uses paint brushes for details.
2.
Purpose
Hatvolic is trying to find an understanding
of his past by recreating the past through surrealism.
3.
How do I read this piece?
I feel like this painting represents either a
spiritual birth, (being born again through religion) or if it’s Hatvolic’s memory
of his mother giving birth to him.
‘Nihilistic Optimistic’
Installation
1.
How
They used material to create a self-portrait
2.
Purpose
The artists found a way to deconstruct the
way their mind puts an image together.
3.
How to I read this piece?
I think the installations are amazing, but I
wonder if there is a deeper meaning, are we supposed to look at this installation
and realize how insignificant we are in the scheme of things. We’re full of
life, then we die and we become bits and pieces and are no longer recognizable.

1.
This is deconstruction of surface, instead of a
traditional object as a canvas, Hasangegovic used her body.
2.
This is her family tree, and uses her body and
red paint to signify blood and genetics passed through her family tree.
3.
This painting makes me wonder if she is confused
about who or what she is. Is she only a
creation of combined personalities and traits passed down from generation to generation
(kind of like a robot that was programmed) or is she an individual with unique traits
and a unique personality only inspired by her family.
