Miroslav Antic explores the power of memory by painting seminal and iconic characters, veiled by semi-transparent layers of color, polka dots, and paint splatters. His abstracted backgrounds of drips, patterns, and phrases – and the peeling back of layers – provide a study in the impermanence of the symbols that surround us. His large-scale paintings and installations aim to make the most fleeting and nostalgic parts of American culture tangible. Antic’s work can be found in numerous public collections, including the Boston Public Library, the McDonald’s Corporation, and the Museum of Art (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida).
