Edi Miandrušić, an artist from Slovenia, brings a unique approach to contemporary art, blending pop culture with historical references. His work is characterized by vibrant, unconventional paper collages that reflect his fascination with pop-glitch aesthetics and his deep appreciation for art history.
His featured artwork, “David” (mixed media, paper and cardboard, 70x50x1 cm), is part of a series of paper collages created in early 2024. In this piece, Miandrušić reinterprets Michelangelo’s famous statue of David, placing him in a modern setting by dressing him in a t-shirt against a chaotic background inspired by the iconic style of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The artwork features horizontal glitches, symbolizing the fusion of historical art with contemporary digital aesthetics. Created entirely from layered paper, meticulously cut with scissors and a scalpel, this collage is a striking example of Miandrušić’s ability to merge the old with the new, drawing from pop art and post-internet influences.
Based in Izola, Slovenia, Edi has an extensive background in design, marketing, and gallery management, but his true passion lies in creating art. His artistic journey reflects a deep connection to pop culture, techno-pop aesthetics, and a bold use of collage as his primary medium. He is also known for his work in painting and mosaics, always pushing the boundaries of his creative expression.
As a finalist in the category of Mixed Media for the scan.art Emerging Artist Prize 2024, Edi’s work will be exhibited at the Finalist Exhibition at Bakerhouse Gallery, Graz, Austria, opening to the public on Friday, October 18th, 18:00. His innovative approach to collage art is sure to captivate viewers with its vibrant energy and thought-provoking themes.
