Minimalism in
Commonplace
Objects
Our PicsArtist of the Month
is Slavko Pjevcevic (@
slavkopjevcevic), a PicsArtist
who uses his camera to take
beautiful and minimalist still-life
portraits. Slavko’s photos choose
a single subject, isolate it, capture
it and give it all of the camera’s
attention.
This approach forces us to
examine and evaluate the
inherent aesthetic properties of
objects that we may otherwise
find unremarkable, such as a
teacup or globe. Slavko eliminates
all other distractions and leaves
us with only form and texture,
and suddenly we are faced with
a gallery of art that changes the
way we see objects around us.
Even the colors in these images
are minimal, with sepia and B&W
tones.
It is the common thread
throughout Slavko’s work--the
bare essentials are the subject.
The details are more important
than context and setting. Slavko
wants us to look closer and
appreciate the subtleties around
us. His photos make us do just
that, they simplify in order to
draw us in and show us what has
been hiding in front us all along.
