Veličastne množične figuralne kompozicije Marka Zorovića v prostorih in kontekstu Muzeja sodobne umetnosti Metelkova marsikomu morda delujejo kot anahronizmi, tako zaradi svoje poudarjeno heroizirane vsebine delavskih tematik kot zaradi sloga. Nastajajo namreč v veliki maniri ekspresivnega kolorizma, v dinamični gostoti barve, ki evocira in travestira gostobesednost manierizma in baroka. Delavci z Zorovićevih platen so skorajda religiozne figure, ki se kot na kakšni El Grecovi nabožni kompoziciji, navdani z religiozno vnemo, zvijajo v opravilih težkega in umazanega fizičnega dela. Religiozna vznesenost slikarskih idiomov preteklosti je tukaj slišati kot glasen revolucionarni klic, v prostore sodobne umetnosti vnese nekaj precej redkega, tisto čustveno in intelektualno potrebo “biti del” tega, kar dramatično zatrjujejo Zorovićeve slike.

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐨 𝐙𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐜́ je bil rojen leta 1973. Po končani srednji šoli za oblikovanje in fotografijo je študiral slikarstvo na ALUO in leta 1997diplomiral pri prof. Gustavu Gnamušu. Leta 2000 je zaključil magistrski študij pri prof. Bojanu Gorencu. Prejel je študentsko Prešernovo nagrado. Poleg slikarstva se občasno ukvarja z restavriranjem, knjižno ter poljudno-znanstveno ilustracijo. Med letoma 2002 in 2005 je objavljal članke in recenzije v strokovnih in dnevnih časopisih ter razstavnih publikacijah. Marko Zorović živi in dela v Križevcih na Goričkem.

Razstava sodi v serijo Prepih, ki je namenjena predstavitvam mlajših umetnikov in svežim idejam.

The magnificent large-scale figural compositions by Marko Zorović, displayed within the spaces and context of the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova, may appear to many as anachronisms—both because of their emphatically heroized depiction of labor themes and due to their style. They are created in the grand manner of expressive colorism, with a dynamic density of color that evokes and travesties the verbosity of Mannerism and the Baroque. The workers on Zorović’s canvases are almost religious figures, who—much like in one of El Greco’s devotional compositions—are imbued with religious fervor, twisting and turning in the execution of hard and dirty physical labor. The religious exaltation of painting idioms from the past here resonates as a loud revolutionary call, bringing into the realm of contemporary art something quite rare: that emotional and intellectual need to “be part” of what Zorović’s paintings assert so dramatically.

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐨 𝐙𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐜́ was born in 1973. After completing secondary school for design and photography, he studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design (ALUO), graduating in 1997 under Professor Gustav Gnamuš. In 2000, he completed a master’s degree under Professor Bojan Gorenc. He received the Student Prešeren Award. In addition to painting, he occasionally engages in restoration work, book illustration, and popular science illustration. Between 2002 and 2005, he published articles and reviews in professional and daily newspapers, as well as exhibition publications. Marko Zorović lives and works in Križevci in the Goričko region.

The exhibition is part of the Prepih series, which is dedicated to presenting younger artists and fresh ideas.
