Agora gallery (New York, USA) - Press Release

For Serbian artist Jascur, landscape is also the means by which Jascur expresses an eternal conflict of mankind's temporality versus the eternity of God. Spirituality is a palpable experience in Jascur’s rich, painterly canvases. He applies paint in conspicuous swirls and eddies to enliven his vision of lush, pastoral scenes. His composition serves his theme of eternity's presence in nature through the interplay between the vertical and horizontal lines of his trees and the ever-present roads cut between them.

ARTisSpectrum magazine (New York, USA)

Serbian artist Jascur paints breathtaking landscapes that teem with a natural pastoral charm. His work focuses on the country villas, the rolling brooks, hills, and tree-lined fields that surround his home. Jascur’s use of a thick impasto application of paint creates shadows on the image that add a beautiful, organic sense of depth. He possesses a delicate sensibility when capturing the radiance of the sun; crisp features in the foreground dissolve into the sfumato of the distance.

Jovan Dunđin - Dragan Jašćur pictures

The cycle of oil and pastel paintings Getting out into the light by Dragan Jašćur represents a realistic view of landscapes with poetic marks of experience and subsequent artistic representation.

The motives, in which the essential parts of the paintings merge, separate, interweave and condense- a road, crossroads, trees, land, water, sky- are in the framework of harmonious compositions and in the extension of projected lasting and vanishing.

Luka Salapura - Dragan Jašćur pictures

The landscape is not a rare theme in the art, no matter which period of history is concerned. The period of impressionistic explorations and experiments at colour/light relation is well known, and as such it had most influence on contemporary artists. Nevertheless, later modernistic and postmodernistic actions are yielding, aside of those, some new and very different interests of authors. This means, mostly, an exit to a space. The need to take the picture into a space has been solved in different ways, from which some resulted in painting which is not a painting any more (in a classical sense), but an object - the autonomous artefact between the real and imaginary worlds.
