Milan Milojevic

Milojevic continues to be a leader in contemporary digital printmaking, creating imaginary hybrid worlds that draw from the traditions of 19th century European wood block designs, reconstructed with digital technologies and overlayed with inkjet prints.

Drawing on both his Yugoslavian heritage and Tasmanian upbringing, Milojevic’s practice describes phantastic forests populated with doctored fauna, flora and mythical creatures. Echoing engravings from early biology encyclopaedias or museological records, Milojevic’s work become a glossary of an alternate natural history, collaging together contemporary and historical references with his cross-cultural heritage. An Evening With The Great White Hunter presents a new suite of works by Milojevic that critiques the ‘Age of Discovery’ and the conquest of exotic new worlds during the 18th and 19th Century. This includes engravings and wood cuts that recorded the exploration of Terra Australis Incognita and the cycle of discovery, colonisation and possession.
