AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Miodrag Đorđević (1936) — Abstract composition with metallic reflections
Oil on cardboard
59 × 44.5 cm
Signed
Unframed
Superb abstract composition by Miodrag Đorđević (also known as Miodrag), born in 1936.
Oil on cardboard, format 59 × 44.5 cm.
Signed “MIODRAG” at the bottom right.
The work masterfully plays with materials and light. The ochre, gold and olive-green backgrounds open onto a large deep blue organic form, almost mineral, while on the right a field of vivid orange, striped and iridescent, catches the light like oxidized metal.
White, silver and nacreous passages create real metallic effects: depending on angle and lighting, the surface changes, vibrates, reflects.
The material is generous — impasto, controlled drips, granular and smooth textures that evoke landscape, body and mineral alike.
It is a painting to look at both up close and from afar: it changes with the light. A work of high execution quality, typical of the artist’s freer and more sensuous periods, far from the geometric Op Art compositions for which he is also known.
Sold unframed, ready to be put under glass or placed in a contemporary frame (black, brushed gold or natural wood, according to taste).
Very good overall condition. Healthy cardboard, fresh colors, clear signature. Some studio marks on the verso, normal for a work on cardboard support.
Biography
Miodrag Đorđević (Miodrag), born in 1936
A Yugoslav/Serbian painter born in 1936 (Aleksinac), Miodrag Đorđević established himself in the 1960s as one of the European figures of Optical Art and kinetic abstraction. His works have been shown in prestigious galleries in Rome, Florence, Paris, Brussels, Dallas and Miami.
Far from being limited to geometric Op Art, Miodrag passed through several periods: optical compositions, lyrical abstractions, works on paper, cardboard, canvas, serigraphs, charcoal and pastels. In each, he pushes mastery of material to a rare refinement — impasto, transparencies, light effects and, as here, remarkable metallizations.
His paintings are held in international private collections. Market sources note works that have belonged to personalities such as Giulio Andreotti, Sophia Loren, Natalie Wood, or Henry Miller.
The market follows him closely: more than 600 public sale appearances since the 1990s (Artprice), mainly in France and Belgium, in the painting category.
Medium-sized formats on cardboard or paper, like this one, remain sought after for their decorative presence and painterly quality.
A beautiful work by an atypical artist, at once historical (Op Art) and very current in its material and reflections.
