Another Earth – The passing Dream
Zlatko Vasic

Zlatko Vasic’s painting Time of Innocence (Another Earth, The Passing Dream) reflects this sense of alienation. In this work, the artist captures a melancholic portrayal of an anonymous person. With halved face, part cerulean blue and part blue grey, there is a sense of fragmentation, a rupture in one’s life. The blue-grey half is expressionless and youthful; its other half features a worried brow and troubled eye staring towards the ground. The figure’s awkward, restrained posture painted in pale ochre’s and yellow creates an intimate, revealing narrative of the difficult life stages that we face. In Time of Innocence there is also a sense of personal pain and torture that is reminiscent of Edvard Munch’s historically popular painting, ‘The Scream’. Munch explained that his painting ‘represents the universal anxiety if the modern man’. He explained further that he painted this painting as ‘a study of the soul, [which is] to say the study of my own self’. Unlike Munch, Zlattko Vasic did not explain his painting any further, he chooses to leave the interpretation to the audience, and he encourages the audience to use their own imaginations when looking at his paintings, which, in some respect, makes his paintings more interesting and more enticing than if it had one.
