Richly illustrated with over 250 colour images, this is the first in-depth study to be published in the English language of leading Serbain artist Milos Sobajic.
Sobajic's work is a torrential outpouring of images in a wide variety of forms - paintings, sculptures, installations, and works that combine both painting and sculpture.
These have gained him recognition as the leading Serbian artist of his generation, and led to comparisons with Francis Bacon, the classical surrealism of Salvador Dali, and the romanticism of Géricault. It is constantly preoccupied, as indeed these artists were, with the bond between the sublime and the abject, and with the tragic nature of the human condition.
Miloš Šobajić was a Serbian painter whose monumental, surreal compositions confront the chaos of modern existence with raw emotional intensity. Born in 1945 and later based in Paris, he developed a distinctive visual language filled with contorted human forms, apocalyptic landscapes, and a restless search for freedom. His canvases often explore themes of suffering, power, and transformation, blending Balkan historical memory with universal existential drama.
The book includes a complete catalogue of his work, along with a collection of essays.
