Milan Basic

Milan Basic discovered art through graffiti in the late 1980's. This led to portrait art, automotive airbrushing, graphic design and wall murals. After focusing primarily on walls, it was after much prodding that he try applying these images to canvas. Starting with spray paint on canvas, curiousity and experimentation led to a multitude of mixed media works. The original canvases were strongly graffiti inspired, which then evolved into photo-realism and naturally, surrealism. Evolution brought originality. Not wanting to regurgitate the usual selection, it was decided Milan would introduce all of his influences into his current productions. Using techniques learned from years in the film industry combined with styles taken from his many years of involvement in the graffiti culture and adding other ideas inspired by renaissance art and even anime art. What is being produced today by Milan is the bastard child of all these elements being used to convey his messages and ideas forming what is clearly a truly original style. Don't blink, this artist is not afraid to throw more curve balls into the soup. After all, he is in a constant state of change and thirsts for the next step. Currently experimenting with resin pours and moving toward sculpture for the near future.
