May 17, 2019 - At the Art Media Hotel in Zanjic, the fifth art colony is underway, organized by hotel management led by the owner, sculptor Nikola Nino Perović. Zanjic Art Colony of 2019 is finishing on Sunday, 19 May, with the exhibitions of works of this year's participants of one of the most popular regular annual gatherings of Montenegrin painters.
Specific to the intensive offer of cultural events, the Art Media Hotel attracts guests from all meridians. However, thanks to the art colony that is organized in April or early May, Art Media is also an open spot for local artists and art lovers before the high tourist season.
This year the weather was not in favor of the organizers, so the artists gathered in the colony last Sunday, 12 May, and since then have been creating and joining one of the most beautiful landscapes along the Montenegrin coast, Zanjic bay at the entrance to Boka Bay.
"Only the last two days Zanjic is beginning to look to like itself at this time of year. Colors and sounds of nature are waking us up, and it is where the day is starting. Then we work better, making good pictures and sculptures. I hope to have such a beautiful time until Sunday, which means a lot in the creative process. This year we gathered lovely company, and we are all pleased and grateful for the opportunity to socialize, talk about art, and create. Of course, the result will not go away," Perovic said.
Zanjic Art Colony of 2019 has gathered ten artists. In addition to affirmed painters and sculptors - Miša Vemić, Momo Macanović, Rade Vujačić, Radun Marsenić, Irvin Masličić, and Nino Perovic, there are younger artists - Jelena Pavićević, Hana Mirkov, Anja Radulović, and Esma Šabić, coming from Mostar.
The renowned Montenegrin painter, Mišo Vemić, is at the colony at the Art Media Hotel for the second time. Commenting on the fact that the gathering has brought together artists of different generations, Vemić says the experience is undoubtedly relevant, but that, when the painting is concerned, creators can always learn from each other. The quality of socializing at Zanjic sees first and foremost in the diversity offered by artist selection: "The richness of this colony is the diversity of manuscripts. These are not uniform styles, same themes. You know, some art colonies are just grasping the landscape, all painting landscapes, or somewhere else - they all draw abstractions. We are, in artistic terms, a very diverse society, enriching each one of us individually, this colony, and the contents of the exhibition we will present on Sunday," noted the painter Mišo Vemić.
Nino Perovic invites all lovers of nature and art to come to the exhibition of works of colony participants, to be presented at the atrium of the Art Media Hotel on Sunday, 19 May at 5 pm.
