“Dejan Stojanovic belongs to a category of young authors and being such has no prejudices or problems
on choosing motives in his later mainly digital processing. On this exhibition the author has presented us two cores: Faces en passant and My world.
The first one is dedicated to people and the other one to landscapes from Boka and the most interesting thing and whereby you can simply recognize
this author is a specific picturesque approach to photography. Without permanent incentive the beholder very quickly lets himself to enjoyment in
scenes and experience them as painting acts (considering a picture as a photography was recognized long since as a painting art category).
Ever since the photography had a character of story (it is usually said that one photo speaks hundred languages) and since every event could be
told in many different ways and with many various approaches, these photos bear one particular lyrically colored narration being so characteristic
for Dejan Stojanovic. This lyrics is not only linked o landscapes i.e. scenes of Bokakotorska Bay which is Dejan’s permanent inspiration but is more
than perceivable even in portraits that are far from classical and bare presentation of faces that he meets. Every photographed person is shown in
specific authorial manner and with the aid of digital technologies the author shows us his vision (or there is an artful, only his dedicated muse)
personal experiences moved by the moment of shooting and finished by pressing of key ENTER. Traditionalists might live this way of work as particular
heresy and there are even comments that every revolution and also this digital one eats own children, but Dejan has his own red thread that he stands
to and that he gets it into fine texture of each of his photos. In such way he manages to avoid traps of over processing that would for sure destroy
the base of photos becoming in such manner something else – digital art.
When we look at complete exhibition made of medley of tenderly and watchfully processed photographs, we have the opportunity for double pleasure:
firstly, photographically recognizable under traditionalistic selection of motives and basic technique and secondly, lyrical, entirely based upon
personal vision of Dejan Stojanovic.”
