Craquelure Pavo & Me

Slaven Tolj’s work exhibits a particular focus on his native Dubrovnik and its frayed social structure, and on the disintegration of Yugoslavia, especially after the siege of Dubrovnik. As a result of the siege he envisaged a broader scope of investigation and engaged in issues related to globalization. The central working motif in his very subtly and delicately crafted work avoids direct language and images and similarly, any sense of intimacy between the artist, the object and the viewer in a process of what he called “perceptive appropriation.”
