The works by Ivan Šuletić (*1982, Belgrade, RS) in the EPO art collection are part of a broader painterly deconstruction of
cityscapes and architecture. The artist is particularly interested in places without any immediately discernible historical
context, so-called non-places. The artist takes a fragment of an arbitrarily selected digital image and paints this again
and again on the canvas, resulting in a single grid-like image. For Šuletić, the repetition of a fragment becomes symbolic
of modern urban developments comprised of countless non-places. Lacking any obvious cultural context, these can be found in
or around any city. Referencing "capitalist realism", the artist also draws attention to the mechanisms that construct a reality
through the consumption-oriented accumulation of images.
