“There is a lot of libido in the works of Tomislav Nikolic. An excess of desire which throbs and pulsates — palpitates — like some disco night atmosphere full of adrenaline and exaggerated lust. No!, you say. Nikolic’s works are exquisite, beautiful, serene, transcendent, mystical, spiritual.

Nadia Naveau combineert in haar werk ernst met speelsheid. Als geen ander weet de beeldhouwster de toeschouwer te verleiden en een gevoel van vervreemding op te roepen.

Initially, Scarlett mainly took pictures to document her sculptures and performances, but he...
