Artist Statement:
The Research of Vasic's Art
Works published by artist
James Langston in Florida, USA
The art works of Zlatko Vasic
are both stunning and shocking
in their honesty. There is so
much thought and energy
flowing into and out of these
works that seeing them is a
conversation taking place in
real time. Each of his unique
works demands your attention.
The surface images grab you
and the messages is forced
into your sub-conscious.
Although these works are not
abstract in the true sense,
they remind me of what Marc
Chagall said:
"What I mean by "abstract" is
something which comes to life
spontaneously through a gamut
of contrasts, plastic at the
same time as psychic, and
pervades both the picture and
the eye of the spectator with
conceptions of new and
unfamiliar elements..."
This well fits these art
works. Plastic skin, plastic
fabric and plastic objects
fill these works. The message
is not just a picture plane
icon but each goes much
deeper.
I have watched as Vasic's
works have progressed and his
unique grasp of the human
condition and reaction to
daily life through his work
still bring the same
excitement as they did when

| Your Personal Biography |
Zlatko Vasic was born in Tuzla, former Yugoslavia, 1963. From early days Vasic was interested to explore and study art techniques. 1978 he participated in the Groharjev Art Colony,Colony of Yugoslav Young Talents, and got the second prize. His first separate exhibition was opened by the famous Yugoslav artist Dragisa Trifkovic in 1981, Tuzla. Some of Vasics art works were donated to build the monument of Branislav Nusic, Yugoslav writer, in Belgrade. By the art exhibitions Vasic has made illustrations for novels of Radoje Domanovic, Behdzer Barsom, Lawrence F.Farrar, Maryana Pinchuk, etc.
In 1991 he moved to Sweden where he continues to work and make exhibitions with his American friends Jim Pollock, Jim Mackay, Coco Gordon, etc..
New Masters Exhibition was one of Vasic success in New York, World Fine Art Gallery 1998.
Art Magazine Diaspora wrote:
The human body still represents an unexplored secret for the scientific world, making it an exciting challenge for Vasic, entagled bodies, grotesque gestures and impossible positions, life’s filth seasoned with people’s abstract thoughts leading nowhere, the sterility of a right-thinking society which produces everyday robots, the unavoidable disappearance of our own individuality a claustrophobic feeling despite open environment are only a bit of what Zlatko Vasic exploits in his art.
Vasics art is a sensible message a methodical way to inspect artistic variety and examine the question of how far we we may go in art and how long art will prevail.
In 2000, artist Jim Pollock, wrote in American News and The Gallery Channel about exhibiton The Last Waltz. The Last Waltz, River of Art, is unique because the exhibit itself is the work of art. According to one of the artists and organizers, Zlatko Vasic, the exhibit becomes the art, the independent artists organizing and participating become the media. As the exhibit flows from place to place and pieces are sold, new pieces and new artists are added.
