Born in Serbia, 1967. Currently works and lives in London, UK.

Djordje Ozbolt is a significant figure for contemporary art scene, and represented Serbia at the 58th Venice Biennale, 2019. He studied architecture at the University of Belgrade, Yugoslavia, from 1988 – 1991 before moving to the UK where he attended a Foundation course at Chelsea School of Art in 1995. Ozbolt then did a BA in Fine Art at the Slade School of Fine Art, 1996 – 2000 and followed this with an MA in Painting at the Royal Academy, 2003 – 2006.

Ozbolt is known for his playful visual combination of history, memory and contemporary culture, regardless of the symbols’ original backgrounds. Found imagery, cartoon motifs, kitsch and artistic references are the unifying aspects of his work. By breaking down the established culture symbols and values, and through his humorous and witty presentation, Ozbolt’s works are considered as an icon, predicting our uncertain future in the end of this multiculturalism.

He participated in exhibitions including : “Sing me a Song” (Herald St, London, 2021); Regaining Memory Loss, Serbian Pavilion, 58th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Venice (2019); Belgrade Biennale, Belgrade (2018); Brave New World, Hauser & Wirth Somerset, Bruton, (2017); For better or worse, Taro Nasu, Tokyo (2017).

1967年出生於塞爾維亞。 現時生活及工作於英國倫敦。

Djordje Ozbolt 是當代藝術領域的重要人物之一，在2019年獲選為威尼斯雙年展的塞爾維亞代表。1988 – 1991年，他在貝爾格勒大學修讀建築系，並於1995年獲得切爾西藝術與設計學院的幫助移居英國。他於英國皇家藝術學院接受正統的油畫訓練，並於2006年完成其碩士學位。

這也是Ozbolt創作其中一個特色 ― 他的作品，特別是肖像畫帶有明顯的古典構圖和傳統技法基礎，但同時也混搭了各種現代資本主義符號，創造出充滿超現實主義魔力的畫面。Ozbolt 以其將文化、 歷史或宗教元素結合到作品中的獨特方式而聞名，解構了既定的文化和價值觀，通過他幽默風趣的呈現，我們看到了在多元文化的終結中不確定的未來。無論是單純欣賞畫面的趣味性，還是構讀其中的符號，觀者都必定會沉迷其中。

藝術家曾參與展覽包括:「Sing me a Song」( Herald St，倫敦，2021)；塞爾維亞展館「Regaining Memory Loss」(第五十八屆威尼斯雙 年展，威尼斯，2019)；貝爾格萊德雙年展, 2018；「Brave New World」( 豪瑟沃斯畫廊，薩默塞特郡，2017)；「For better or worse」(Taro Nasu，東京，2017)等等。
