Eugster || Belgrade is happy to invite you to the opening of Đorđe Ozbolt‘s first solo show at the gallery. We look forward to seeing you on the 19th of September at 6 PM.

Đorđe Ozbolt work mixes high art and kitsch, the sacred and the profane, the monstrous and the humorous. Born in Belgrade, then part of Yugoslavia, Ozbolt studied architecture in Belgrade, Serbia. After moving to London in 1991, he received a BA from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2000 and an MA from the Royal Academy of Arts in 2006. His eclectic style draws inspiration from classical art history and his travels around the world, particularly India. He has cited Kasimir Malevich, Francis Picabia, and Giorgio de Chirico as influences. On his frequently reworked canvases, Ozbolt combines folkloric, religious, and Pop imagery in irreverent ways. In Last Year’s Fashion (2008), sold at an auction in 2020, a rainbow-striped pig stands alone beneath a dramatically clouded sky reminiscent of Baroque religious paintings by Titian or Nicolas Poussin. His group shows include the Tate Triennial (2006), the Prague Biennale (2007), and the Belgrade Biennale (2018).
Ozbolt represented Serbia in the 58th Venice Biennale.
He has held solo exhibitions including Gallery Baton, Seoul (2017); the Holburne Museum, Bath (2016) and has participated in group exhibitions at international major museums and art institutions such as Tate Britain, London (2006), Zabludowicz Collection, London (2010); National Museum of Art, Osaka (2012); Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, Peekskill (2015); New York White Columns (2005) and etc.
