Street Artist: Lonac

Lonac is a Croatian artist who is best known for his photo-realistic murals painted with spray cans combined with brushes and influenced by skateboard culture, comics, graffiti, movies, music… Lonac was born in Zagreb, Croatia in the mid 80′ and earned his degree at The Academy of Fine Arts, University of Zagreb. He started doing graffiti back in elementary school but never took it too seriously. 

Finding inspiration from inner life and surrounding  for his works,  Lonac always has some sketches and a photo reference for the photo-realistic part. Sometimes he likes to combine photo-realism with the abstract background or with an illustrative 2d style. But lately, he works mostly in freehand technique by painting realistic/surrealistic murals. “I think in Croatia people still don’t take spray can as a medium too seriously. I see that as my window, my creating space. I feel that I’m upgrading from one work to another and taking it to the next level. “

Lonac currently lives and creates in Zagreb, Croatia.

The limitless work of Katharina Grosse

‘‘I don´t understand this level or limit stuff. Painting is simply what I want to do when I open my eyes. I indulge in exuberance and aggressive energy without killing anybody.

Looking at my painting you are experiencing the absence of linear structures, the fracturing of causalities, and the equality and simultaneity of structures that normally seem to exclude one another. In my painting they can be seen at the same time. Painting is an ideal medium to put across this phenomenon of equality and concurrency. It is able to provide all visual particles on the picture plane simultaneously.’’ (Katharina Grosse explaining her art to Bomb Magazine)
