Bazaar Bizarre Collective created a great art installation on the street outside Flying Pony Gallery as part of the 2014 Festival of South Asia.
Lot of fun as thousands of people enjoyed the installation and took photos in front of the structure.
Thanks to Rob Elliott and Andrew Horne as well as the community volunteers who helped.
Dalibor Dejanovic
My work is most often done on location. When painting the scene, I include, omit and transform the landscape in order to speak of the mood and emotion that it evokes in me. I like to work with “ordinary” sights: architecture, green spaces, reflections, tree shadows, in and out of the city.
Together with traditional painting, imaginative design is also a point of interest in my work. Sometimes, I add creatures and other out of ordinary sights. They are the product of daydreaming and random thoughts. This process allows me to let go of the obvious and embrace the unknown. Being fully present in the moment, immersing myself in the act of direct painting on location is for me a form of meditation. The ordinary becomes unique, space and time distinct through light, atmosphere and emotion.
