IN THE BOUNDLESS SEA
Robert Mihajlovski’s artworks are of epic dimensions that may be likened to such works as the “Raft of Medusa” by Théodore Géricault. Using the sea as the subject, Mihajlovski creates intricately detailed paintings with infinite little stories, humble lines, like a word that speaks so intimately to each of us.
Rather than figurative or pictorial the three paintings are atmospheric. There are no horizon lines between the sea and the sky, there is no outline as in the iconic wave lithograph of Hokusai, except for a colouration difference on Boat people III, there is no edge at all. The sea is not drawn, is not an image or even looked at or seen, and yet the sea is everywhere.
Robert Mihajlovski, born in Bitola, 1954.
He studied art history, archaeology, painting and printmaking in Skopje, Belgrade, New York and Melbourne. He livesand works in Melbourne and Bitola.
