Aleksandar Stankovski is the most important Macedonian painter in
the last thirty years. Because of three reasons: the big painting
erudition and the passionate dedication to the painting medium; the
virtuoso technique which he possess and which enable him to move his
brush through the world history with great ease; and last,
Stankovski is of great importance for our context since in his
painting he opens wide range of provocative themes that have never
been opened and have never had such a complex (yet mostly very
ironic!) painting substratum as Stankovski give them.
Four themes dominate Stankovski's painting: the painting itself
(understood as a technique, medium, and some kind of treasury of
gestures/manners, or archive of archetypal motives); the politics
(often esoteric, "conspirative" and burlesque!); sex (partly
understood as prominent painting subject of body examination) and
friendship (which, as painting motive, can even be understood as
Stankovski shamanistic attempt to close his friends/characters in
some phantasmagoric creative universe which in the same time is
great archive of Skopje's, above all, alternative cultural and art
scene.
