David Maljković @ Quetzal Art Center
David Maljković, An Ancient Visitor, 2022
February 19 – August 31, 2023
Quetzal Art Center, Vidigueira, Portugal
Georg Kargl Fine Arts is delighted to announce the solo exhibition In the Pictorial Code by David Maljković at Quetzal Art Center. At the core of Maljković’s practice is a regimented exploration of formalist concerns. Whilst narrative is the driving element at the origin of a project, the artist’s varied means of visual implementation consistently and profoundly modifies and compromises its supremacy, whether that is through photography, video, sculpture, installation, collage or painting. In the Pictorial Code presents recent works that play with the idea of painting as a guardian of time and the painter’s position as its witness. The exhibition establishes a marking system that embodies the image’s position within the author’s practice, and also tracks its displacement into other media.
