Milosevic
Aleks Milosevic is an Ottawa, Canada-based artist and psychologist. His work has been presented in gallery contexts, and he curated his first solo exhibition in 2025 within a historic home setting. His art is held in private collections and has entered a gallery collection.
Artist Statement
Drawing from Classical, Byzantine, and Surrealist aesthetic sensibilities, his work continues the figurative-representational tradition and visually represents symbols, figures, and narratives with enduring cultural-historical-archetypal significance to explore themes related to human aggression, sexuality, relationships, and psychologies that cycle through cultural histories. Emerging from the deeply personal and moving to the universal, his work intends to engage viewers’ perceptual curiosities, evoke emotional experiencing, and raise a multiplicity of interpretive possibilities and questions.
Artistic Process
His drawing and collage practices rely heavily on the use of paper and the re-purposing of photographic imagery. Drawings are rendered on paper using various media, and collages are “built” by adhering paper materials cut from various sources (e.g., art books, animal encyclopedias, etc.) to paper. Photographic imagery often serves as the basis for drawings, and collages frequently merge components cut from photographs with those from non-photographic sources. Within the artworks, paper materializes what is fragile yet enduring and photographic imagery manifests memory and historicity.
The marks and cuts left behind on paper reveal the mysteries of an artist's hand materializing imagination, and memorialize the humanity embedded within creation.
