Predrag Pedja Nešković (1938)
Predrag Peđa Nešković, Serbian artist, graduated at the Academy of Applied Arts in Belgrade in 1965 in class of Professor Mihailo S. Petrov. From 1958 he exhibited in numerous group exhibitions in Serbia, Yugoslavia and abroad.
Pedja Nešković entered the art scene in the early sixties in the period of dominated of Art Informel and Abstraction with images that were close to Belgrade new figuration of the period, with elements of Pop Art and Poetic Fiction. They are interpreted in the context of symbolic forms of imaginative world in response to technological environment characteristic for that time. In the seventies Nešković changed his stylistic artistry to lyricism, irony and narrative anecdotes. This new iconography is relating to consumer society that has affected our everyday lives, in the language of trash and kitsch, responding to these archetypes of the epoch. During the eightieth Nešković again changes the direction of the poetics of postmodern paradigm, so in the most recent works he turned towars deconstructionist installations full of irony and ridicule to the world that nurtures worthless, industrial products, which should replace artistic creativity.
