The official opening of the exhibition “Apocalypse” by Dzeko Hodzic took place on Saturday, the 21st of May in Historical Museum of BiH, on the occasion of International Museum Day.
At the exhibition was presented a large triptych – painting entitled “Apocalypse” and the accompanying drawings of the same cycle (drawings and paintings).
Triptych “Apocalypse” (oil on canvas, dimensions: 4.88 x 2.20m) with allegorical presentation incorporates thread that scraped through human society from its beginning to the present day: the mercilessness of war and senselessness of war suffering, always with the figure of a man who becomes an animal in the war – a beast or a victim.
Mental awareness of conquerors has not changed throughout the history; costumes, tools and weapons have been changing, bit the consequences remained the same.
