The work of Serbian-born, London-based painter Djordje Ozbolt is laced with sinister humor and virtuosity of hand. This limited edition, numbered first monograph--exquisitely produced with luxurious paper changes, a ribbon, a gatefold poster and a French-folded jacket printed on both sides--contains works from Ozbolt's first solo show in New York, all completed in 2007 and 2008. These include: "Thrilla," an infectiously deadpan acrylic of Michael Jackson, clad in the famous red leather suit, with arms akimbo and ghouls all around; "A Kiss is Just a Kiss," in which a tail-hanging monkey and an African okapi smooch mid-air; and "He's Back," starring a hairy giant holding a club and a decapitated head, marching in front of a roiling night sky. Essayist David Rimanelli writes, "Ozbolt, playing fast and loose with a wide range of painterly effects and art-historical references, dives into the historical muck, willy-nilly; he's having fun."

Belgrade-born, London-based artist Djordje Ozbolt (b. 1967) employs an uninhibited approach to the venerable genres of painting and sculpture to produce works that are disconcerting in content and construction. Infused with wit and humor, his work takes on themes of history, politics and travel, among others. An essay from Oliver Basciano, international editor of ArtReview and ArtReview Asia magazines, explores the theme of incongruity in Ozbolt's work and places the artist in a wider context of visual culture and art history. 0This titel highlights Djordje Ozbolt's recent work, reproducing the artist's sculptures, paintings and drawings from late 2013 to early 2017. The publication, produced with a clothbound cover, also features views from the artist's studio, as well as his sketches, printed on distinct paper interspersed throughout the book.

Saatchi Gallery in Adelaide: British Art Now brings together the audacious best of contemporary art straight from London's internationally acclaimed Saatchi Gallery - arguably the biggest influence on contemporary British art over the past 25 years. It features groundbreaking works that challenge conventional artistic sensibilities, created by more than forty of the new generation of daring British contemporary artists. Also featured with Saatchi Gallery in Adelaide is Tracey Emin's controversial My Bed, one of the most iconic works of art of the twentieth century. My Bed sparked a furore as a Turner Prize nomination in 1999 for its confessional revelations of the artist's sexual exploits and self-destructive lifestyle and became a signifier for the 'shock' strategies of the YBAs.
To the Wall Street Journal, it's "Europe's most prestigious twentieth-century art fair;" to the New York Times, the "Olympics of the Art World."
