Robert Gligorov
A Robert Gligorov le gusta provocar
El artista Macedonio Robert Gligorov (1969) reside y trabaja en Milán. Artista incómodo, con un “particular” sentido del humor y difícil en la lectura de su obra, realiza video instalaciones, es performer, pero sobre todo, es conocido por su faceta de fotógrafo. Provocador nato, crea chocantes e impactantes imágenes con la intención de hacer frente a una sociedad acostumbrada a formas sofisticadas y de alto impacto comercial en la comunicación visual. Gligorov intenta “amplificar el shock” que puede producir su trabajo con el fin de competir con la avalancha de imágenes que nublan nuestro campo visual. Sus imágenes representan a menudo temas polémicos como la religión, la violencia y la sexualidad. Sin embargo intenta llenar sus obras con dosis de humor. No estamos seguros de que lo consiga del todo, pero lo que sí que nos queda claro, es que repasando su trabajo, nadie se escapa de los dardos que lanza, ni de sus grandes dosis de “mala leche”. Y para muestra, la recreación que hace de la muerte del guitarrista Brian Jones, que murió ahogado en la piscina de su casa. Os la mostramos a continuación. Gligorov la bautizó con el título “Like a Rolling Stone”. Lo dicho mucha mala baba.
Gligorov was born in 1959 in Kriva Palanca, Macedonia.
He lives and works in Milan, Italy.
Gligorov's work attempts to shock the viewer. Each piece tantalizes the imagination, awakening it from a state of lethargy. Confronting a society accustomed to sophisticated and extreme forms of visual communication, Gligorov amplifies the shock value of his work in order to compete with the deluge of images that cloud our visual field.
