REFLECTION Painting

Born on 9 September, 1952 in Bor, a little town on east of Serbia. Bachelor degree in geography obtained at University of Belgrade. He began painting during childhood. However, since 1985 his search of his own art identity has started.. I attended the private art school of Professor Jaroslav Kandic. He lives and works in Becej, Serbia. Materials on Bane's Still Lives are almost tangible. A lasting attempt to paint transparency - of glass, interlaces, structure and unequal shades of lumber is great challenge that the painter copes with easily. Plastic of forms is highly expressed, partially due to the artist's interest in light, shading and illumination. CRITIQUES: Mirko Maksimovic - Maks, Journalist , Beograd 1994.
