Obican, Jovan (1918 - 1986)
was born in
Cannes, France, of Yugoslav parents. From childhood on, Jovan
practically devoted himself to art, scratching designs on mud pies when
paper was unavailable. He trained with many recognized teachers with many
styles. He finished his training, imbued with the spirit of his native
country, the people, their legends, and their philosophy. It has been said
that his work has a "timeless quality" and a naive, child-like primitive
style. Obican is identified with his style the world over, a style that is
simple yet sophisticated; child-like yet masterfully adult; a style that
tells a story with psychological, philosophical or sociological overtones.
The art style is a unique one. It is a conglomerate of tradition, history, legends, hero tails, epics, old customs and a derivation of folklore. It is a self-standing style, recognizable, cheerful, whimsical and a happy creation. Auszugsweise aus: www.artmeister.com
