"OPEN YOUR EYES" is a duet show, where “Magical Realism” meets “Intellectual Mysticism”

Two prominent, award wining European artists are presented:

• Dragan Sekaric (SHEX)
(b. Bosnia, former Yugoslavia)
“Magical Realism”

The term "Magical Realism" in literature, is foremost associated with Latin American writers, like Marquez and Cortazar. Not without a good reason, Canadian journalist Ralph Benmergui once applied this term to describe the paintings by Dragan Sekaric (Shex)...
Some critics also believe that Shex’s "... most original contribution to fine art is his modern use of the sfumato style… [that] endows his paintings with a mystical, enigmatic character, and it portrays human figures as part of a larger world that denies them the defined worlds they once enjoyed and that gave them identity and importance" (Prof. Keith Ellis).

• Ioseb Nadiradze (SOSO)
(b. Georgia, former USSR)
“Intellectual Mysticism”

Although some critics note that works of Soso are somewhat reminiscent of Mark Chagall, Soso feels that his own artistic roots derived mainly from the frescos of the ancient Georgian churches; almost as his own "genetic memory," he undergoes the poetic and philosophical inspirations of Shota Rustaveli, the greatest Georgian intellectual of 12th century; Soso believes it is Pirosmani (1862-1918) who has enabled him to apprehend that reality is actually not as apparent as it seems to appear...
