TREDISMO
art

TREDISMO is an artistic movement born through years of research, experimentation, and innovation, with the aim of pushing the boundaries of traditional painting into the space of the third dimension. Inspired by painting traditions that emphasize relief, TREDISMO combines painting, object, and sculptural form into a unique visual language.

Beginning with explorations of pronounced reliefs on hard surfaces in late 2018, the movement reached a pivotal moment in 2019 with the creation of the first three-dimensional painting on canvas. Through the combination of different materials, textures, and structures, the works transcend the boundaries of classical painting and become spatial compositions that transform the relationship between image, light, and viewer.

The first work was created using a treated sponge cube, a material whose softness and richness of texture became an essential part of the movement’s visual identity. By extending painting into the third dimension, TREDISMO represents not only a technique, but a new way of thinking about painting as a physical and spatial experience.

Branko Jovanovic

The awards winning artist

A versatile artist, he seamlessly navigates diverse mediums, ranging from oil and pastel painting to the creation of terracotta works, including amphorae and vases, as well as photography. His artistic vision extends to hairstyling, where he transforms models into living canvases.

He has created artistic hairstyles for theater and film and has exhibited his paintings and photographs in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout Italy and Serbia.

He has participated in over 50 solo and group exhibitions and has received numerous prestigious awards and honors for his artistic achievements. He is the originator of a unique synthesis of painting and sculpture, which, through its three-dimensional effect, has evolved into a distinctive artistic movement known as Tredismo.

Tredismo

A sponge, when treated, gives the canvas a strong effect of softness. Looking at the cube, I thought of a name, and the word ‘Cubism’ came to mind — but of course I could not use that name. Cubist paintings are works in two dimensions, while my painting evolved into three dimensions: and thus the name TREDISMO was born.

Popismo

Inspired by the Pop movement, the work is brought to life through abstract, swift, and forceful brushstrokes, layered with textured paint. The colors, arranged in alternating sequence, radiate in beams of contrast emerging from deep, kindred shades.

Mix Art

These works combine painting, sculpture, and installation through experimental mixed-media approaches, often created specifically for my artistic performances. In addition to traditional canvas, I use different materials and surfaces to develop new expressive forms.

Photoart

My second passion is photography! I developed a technique with my retouched photographs and black and white printer on paper, and then colored in different techniques, chrèon, pastels, markers ... Inspired how the first color photographs were made, and photographers colored them with watercolors, and pop-art styles that it never goes out of fashion.

Art can be deeply personal. If you have an idea or emotion you’d like me to capture, I am open to creating bespoke works in dialogue with you.
