“Gejm on”  –  LJUBIŠA PUŠAC

As nostalgic reminder of the cult ’80s computer game Super Mario Brothers, this grand mural became the city’s sixth large-scale mural to be unveiled in October 2018. This mural is the winner of the international competition Paola de Manincor Award named after the Italian artist who created the first mural in Prijedor at the School of Mechanical Engineering. It is titled “Gejm on”, which means in English “Game on”  and was created by local artist LJUBIŠA PUŠAC with the help of the artist SELVER BEGIĆ who won the award the previous year. LJUBIŠA PUŠAC is an academic painter and professor of art in nearby schools in Omarska and Banja Luka. The artwork has different observing effects while admiring it in several ways depending on the distance.  When you are far away, it will have a decorative role, and when you get closer, you can enjoy some childhood memories.

 “Garden”  –  SADDO

Romanian born contemporary artist SADDO, currently based in Bucharest, has a labile way with style, techniques and subjects. He juggles between paintings on canvas for galleries, large scale murals and commission illustrations for different projects and brands. His work mixes his taste for artists like Rousseau, Matisse or Grayson Perry, Iranian miniatures, Asian carpets, with his street art formation, and his love of contemporary illustration, decorative arts, hip hop and urban culture. And just like a hip-hop DJ, he samples and mixes different elements, surreal imagery, portraits of rappers, cars, logos, geometric elements, plants, animals, into his own intricate iconography.  –  SADDO
