Izložba Gordane Tomić u galeriji “Agora” na Menhetnu

Naša talentovana slikarka savremene umetnosti, Gordana Tomić, održala je samostalnu izložbu pod nazivom “Za Beograd pre Njujorka”, u galeriji Singidunum od 6. do 14. marta 2014. godine. Svoja dela ova umetnica predstavila je prvo beogradskoj publici nakon čega sledi izložba u Njujorku, od 5 – 25. jula ove godine. Samostalna izložba u galeriji Singidunum je i svojevrsna najava izložbe u Njujorku, a upravo je ova činjenica postala lajtmotiv izložbe „Za Beograd pre Njujorka“. Radovi slikarke Gordane Tomić, koju na svetskoj sceni savremene umetnosti zastupa njujorška galerija “Agora”, obuhvataju tri ciklusa: ciklus apstrakcija „Tragovi složenih iskušenja“, ciklus apstraktnih aktova „Osvajajući potreti u strasti“ i ciklus apstraktnih pejzaža „Chicago“. Domaća javnost imala je priliku da se na izložbi, u galeriji Singidunum, upozna sa delom opusa iz ciklusa apstrakcija pod nazivom “Tragovi složenih iskušenja”. Na svečanosti povodom otvaranja izložbe, o njenom značaju za savremenu srpsku umetnost, govorio je Zdravko Vučinić, naš istaknuti kritičar i istoričar umetnosti – recenzent kataloga izložbe „Tragovi složenih iskušenja“, Maja Škaljac Stanošević, kustos galerije Singidunum i Tijana Trbović, zamenik umetničkog direktora galerije Prima.

Nakon izložbe u Beogradu, slikarka će svojim radovima na izložbi u galeriji “Agora” na Menhetnu, simbolično preneti duh Beograda u autentičnu globalnu metropolu, Njujork. Galerija “Agora” se nalazi na respektabilnom šestom mestu globalne mape galerija specijalizovanih za savremenu umetnost i biće zvanični zastupnik Gordane Tomić na medjunarodnoj sceni do kraja 2015. godine. Vredi zabeležiti da će Gordana Tomić biti prva slikaraka sa naših prostora koja će održati izložbu u ovoj galeriji. "Za ovog umetnika lepota umetnosti je izražena u fizici, emocijama i u življenju sada-i-ovde. Kroz jarke boje i često elementarne i amorfne konstrukcije, Tomićeva grabi izvanredne, smislene momente koji definišu njen utisak sveta. Njene slike proširuju naš pogled na svet naglašavajući stalno menjanje pejzaža iskustava u nama." - Citat kriticara Joyce Asper, New York.

Izložba u Njujorku pod nazivom "Cadences of Color", biće svečano otvorena 10. jula od 6 - 8 pm, i trajaće do 25. jula 2014.

Commentary on the Epistles of St. John the Theologian

by Archimandrite Justin Popovich

This Commentary on the Epistles of St. John the Theologian - published now, three years after the blessed repose of Venerable Fr. Justin (on the Feast of the Annunciation, 1979) - was written by the tireless Messenger of Christ forty years ago, in circumstances similar to those in which Christ's Holy Evangelist John wrote his sacred Epistles.

The text of this 93-page soft-bound book has been translated from the Serbian by Radomir M. Plavsic. Published by Sebastian Press, Western American Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Contemporary Christian Thought Series, number 5, First Edition, ISBN: 978-0-9719505-6-6
