MILJAN SUKNOVIC STUDIO VISIT - painting installation and exhibition - November 2019 - March 2020 AIR FRANCE LOUNGE at THE JFK AIRPORT NEW YORK

Air France is pleased to present Studio Visit, an exhibition that continues Miljan Suknovic's exploration of abstract painting and playful interaction with architecture. For his largest painting installation to date, Suknovic takes advantage of the architectural space of the Air France Lounge in which he assembles his vibrant abstract painting world beyond the gallery walls.

The show is comprised of works from a vast array of styles that could be described as color field, geometric or even minimalist, as he promises not to settle down into a single style but to keep experiencing art as art. Quoting Ad Reinhardt, “Art is art. Everything else is everything else.” Suknovic studied art and architecture in Belgrade, Prague, Florence, Hamburg and in New York, where he lives and works. This wide range of experience is evident in his paintings, which are constantly evolving through different forms of art-making and testing the potentials and limits of material, space, and color. Suknovic’s painting has been largely influenced by the Renaissance city of Florence, where he spent seven years. He has exhibited widely on an international scale, with solo shows at New York’s Union Gallery, Slag Gallery and Catherine Ahnell Gallery, Ken's Art Gallery in Florence, Petalouda Art Gallery in Naxos, among others and was the subject of the exhibition “Constellations” at the Museum of Porto Montenegro. He painted large scale murals in Florence, Bologna and New York and created a painting exhibition-installations at the R. Livingston Beeckman Mansion, Tower 49, at the World Trade Center's Tower 7 and JFK Airport in New York. Miljan Suknovic's work is represented in many private and public collections worldwide, including acquisitions by the Cosmopolitan Hotel Las Vegas for luxury project Boulevard Penthouses.
