Luka Savić na podlagi študija zahodne filozofije in estetike uporablja različne medije za ustvarjanje enigmatičnih instalacij, ki vključujejo in prilagajajo umetnostnozgodovinske reference ter filozofske ideje. Predvsem ga zanima, kako se abstraktni, univerzalni koncepti nanašajo na individualno izkušnjo: Kako naj, denimo, umetnik uporablja ikonografske motive – vizualne simbole in znake, ki jih umetniki uporabljajo že tisočletja – za komunikacijo s svetom, obenem pa upošteva tudi specifičnosti lastnih izkušenj? Savić nas nato vodi k naslednjemu vprašanju: Ali ima umetnost, ki stremi k univerzalno razumljivemu jeziku, večje izrazne možnosti od tiste, ki ne? Tako kot zamišljena muza v sloviti Melanholiji I Albrechta Dürerja – umetniškem delu, ki ga je Erwin Panofsky, čigar študije ikonografije so prelomnega pomena, opisal kot »objektivni izraz splošne filozofije in subjektivno izpoved posameznika«[1] – vandramo skozi Savićeve instalacije, gnani s simboli navidezno racionalnega in univerzalnega sveta, obenem pa ugibajoči o vlogi oblikovanja mitov in ustvarjalnosti pri prepoznavanju lastnega mesta znotraj njega.

Luka Savić: General philosophy and the confession of an individual man
Artist: Luka Savić
Curator: Guy Robertson
___________
You are kindly invited to attend the opening of Luka Savić’s solo exhibition on February 26 at 19:00!
___________
Informed by his studies in the fields of Western philosophy and aesthetics, Luka Savić uses a variety of media to create enigmatic installations which incorporate and adapt art historical references and philosophical ideas. He is primarily interested in how abstract, universal concepts relate to individual experience: How, for example, can an artist use iconographic motifs – visual symbols and signs which have been used by artists for millennia – to communicate with the world at large whilst acknowledging the specificities of their own experience? Savić leads us to a second question: Does art which strives for a universally comprehensible language have greater expressive possibilities than one which does not? Like the confused muse in Albrecht Dürer’s famous Melancholia I – an artwork which Erwin Panofsky (whose studies in iconography were seminal) described as an “objective statement of general philosophy and the subjective confession of an individual man”[1] – we wander through Savić’s installations goaded by the symbols of an apparently rational and universal world whilst puzzling the role of myth-making and creativity in identifying our place within it.
