"Today it is a vast field of authorial individualities to which each artist contributes with his own linguistic understanding. All these understandings are legitimate, except that some are, in the creative sense, more convincing, explicit, articulated and consistent than others.
Using these measures, it is possible, hypothetically speaking, to construct a hierarchy out of them. In that hypothetical, vertical hierarchy of recent pictorial phenomena, the art of Goran Jureša is among the most interesting and pictorially most defined."

"The works of Goran Jureša, with shifted, opposite senses of arch-words or arch-images, reveal the psychology of an individual intense style in the art of drawing, painting and transformation. Fragmentation of images and words is again found in the constructs of collages, creating an insightful and open momentum of volition in his procedure, as well as in the reach of his art. It is about locating the understanding of changes in human movement in the past.
An organic, internal anatomy of historical presence in the painting is the objectification of mental processes, speech and genetic understanding of the nature of human expression, presumably laughter, anger or motivation, as well as creating a new set of causal questions. Causal explanations of behavioral phenomena are also the opening of a catalog of causes and selected figures from the European tradition of classifying ethics of action.
Paintings can, paradoxically, become more real than any reality upon which they are made. Is color density or a compressed emerging visibility of form another name for beauty or truth?
A fragmented insight into the process of Goran Jureša contains contours, remains of shapes, and some visible traces of anthropological findings. The decomposition process is evident. Color sections and passages, serial incidents of intimate visions of activities, realistic plans and fantasy, they string along, ending with entertaining relationships.
Goran Jureša’s consistent painting and processing position unfolds according to the famous Duchamp connections with contemporary art, regardless of the surges in various media, one through which he registers, creates and analyzes the stages of his findings. This is a work in which the wealth of observations reveals the structural setting of the understanding of the world, and a spontaneous and liberated personal progress."
