The subjects painted by Dragan Azdejkovic are encased in bizarre
costumes and disconnected isolation. The Woman Fighter depicts
a glamorous woman dressed in a bright red hat decorated with two
miniature launch missiles. She is wired with a microphone. Behind
her in what appears to be a wheat field we see a fighter plane
crashing into the field and bursting into flames. In the distance
a man, perhaps the pilot, is running from the scene, but the woman
seems apathetic to the disaster occurring behind her. This artist
endows his subjects with mystery and intrigue. Each character
seems to have a story to tell, and we are challenged to fill in
the blanks with our own imaginations.
Azdejkovic graduated from the Art Academy in Belgrade. The last
several years he has lived in Petrovac na Mlavi in Eastern Serbia.
He exhibits both nationally and abroad, and is a member of ULUS
(Association of Serbian Artists).
