"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 Juresa is among the most interesting and pictorially most defined." ^[1]

Goran Juresa got his master's degree at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, Serbia in 2002. Since 1996, he has participated in solo and group exhibitions internationally. In 2003 he enjoyed a residential stay at the CEAAC - Centre Europeen d Actions Artistiques Contemporaines in Strasbourg, and in 2004 and 2005 in Cite des Arts in Paris. Goran Juresa is the winner of WUS Austria Grant and several awards. He teaches at the Faculty of Tehnical Sciences at the University of Novi Sad and is a PHD candidate with the interest in avant-garde movements of the twentieth century, and their influence on contemporary graphic design.

Juresa's work: The previous solid structure of his works moves to the realm of the simplest creation of the artistic state by means of the colour stain, the line, the text message. The new works are concerned less and less with the question of how to begin. Movement within the system of scribbles and intentional randomness - from the childlike drawing to Cy Twombly - has created and artistic language which is strictly, almost maniacally pure. Everything is allowed. The very process of creation has become more important than the painting, or a drawing.
