Vincent Matijasevic (1957) since his first individual sample in 1980, demonstrated an incipient concern (which increased over the time) to the problems of the original artwork as an assumption of the plastic arts centre, to the point of motivate to write recently, the text “the original re- thought”.
He has conducted more than 20 individual exhibitions. Created in 1980, the cement engraving (cement engraving) which carried out eight individual samples, as well as the participation in the German Biennale “ Intergraph 84” and the participation in the “national chamber of Colombia”. Created in 1983 the ceramics engraving, which conducted four individual samples. Creates in 2006 “Dibujes” (drawings) as engraving techniques in which unites the oldest and most modern.
Built for the two-dimensional visual arts and especially for polychromatic, the dual concept of “original touched” to point the fetish zed artwork by the hand of the author, and “original seen” as the artwork to which the author seeing it, satisfies himself, starting with that work and with that satisfaction, a movement in the social sphere, but, only finally giving to the “original seen” all the priority plastic. Understanding that a work recently built, is actually an original touched-seen, but the affectation that time will exercise over it to produce the ageing of materials in which the work is done, will separate the seen from the touched, because is obvious that most of states ageing of an artwork , will eventually end for not being seen by its author, nor would visually approved by him (if he could see them) although it subsists in such a work the certainty that his author touched it.
Matijasevic has been left up in the inquisitive on the levers of the original artwork, to the point of develops methods that can not even establish that he has called “original seen and touched” his artworks are current as “original seen” as concepts that are developed in the quoted text, then presents “Dibujes, Redivivo noise” as a system in which the work appears completed on the computer, without only prior collectible piece, other than the computer printouts that develops, in which manufacturers of large format digital printers and specialized inks and papers of last generation, have managed to ensure an even greater durability to some of the techniques of traditional art.
is actually a professor of the department of plastic arts at the university of Caldas.
