RETROSPECTIVE

I created this page to show visitors of my web site where I am coming from by showing you my earlier work and some of my exhibitions.

Belov is the link to unstretched paintings from my shop. In 1993 I come to New Zealand with 50-60 unstretched paintings on the canvas. Some of them I managed to sell but lots of them were staying in the same suitcase in which I brought them with me more than 20 years ago. Through the years I had to take off canvases because I am so prolific and sometimes just could not keep with all the paintings. Some of them travelled to Hawaii and back after the exhibition.

Vjekoslav Nemesh, ATEAROA, 1992, oil on canvas, 100 X 100 cm

Ateroa was painted when I had no idea that Maori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa,

land of long white cloud. It is my preminition painting, September 1994 I arrived in New Zealand.

In 2007 I organised first Interconnection exhibition with 3 of my friends: Sean Hurst, Wendy Worley and Mark Wiegant Goude at the Franklin Art Centre, Pukekohe here is how the setup of my wall looked like:

I have had over fifty solo and joint exhibitions so far but one of most sucessful so far was “Digital Legends” in Paihia 2013. I was doing live demo after the opening and sold the painting same day. Name of that painting was Solei Solei.

SOME MORE OF MY FAVORITE PIECES THROUGH THE YEARS:

AGAINST THE STORM, 2008, oil on canvas, 20 X 122 cm

Above is the triptych LIFE STREAM/SAILING, which was exhibited in my exhibition Mystique in Whangarei.

I originally made a triptych named SAILING in 2008, this was my traditional New Years painting, after a while I decided to remove the third panel as it was not working for me. For several years I rented it as a diptych and just before the exhibition it was returned to me so I decided to include it in the exhibition, but I added another third piece called LIFE STREAM, which was floating in front of the two large panels, which was creating a unique looking that was very different and intrigued many viewers.

LIFE STREAM/SAILING, 2008/2015, oil on canvas, 111 cm high, 182 cm wide,

floating panel in the middle 100 cm high, 16 cm wide, oil on linen
