Mi, Daniel Glid

2010. godina. Duga zima, kišovito leto, još gora jesen. Globalno zagrevanje nikako da nas zagreje, temperature od 35plus kao da su ostale tamo negde pre. Sporo, sporo koračanje ka sveopštem boljitku. Besparica. I šta čoveku ostaje? Srećom puno više ostaje onoga što ima nego što nema - porodica. Prošlo je punih devet godina otkako se rodila Sara i otkako smo postali pravi Mi. U protekle tri godine sam imao dve samostalne izložbe, ovo je treća a nikada do sada nisam naslikao ni jednu sliku svoje ćerke i zbog toga sam se loše osećao. Ova izložba je posvećena na prvom mestu Sari a zatim i našoj maloj porodici. U isto vreme mi je bilo i lako i teško da napravim ovakav koncept, pomalo sam se plašio kako će sve ispasti. Srećom, osećanje zadovoljstva kada sam uradio prvu sliku, pa zatim još jednu, i tako redom, ubedilo me je da radim pravu stvar. Bez ironije, bez želje da iskažem svoj stav prema okruženju, bez politički korektnog ili nekorektnog pristupa, bez želje da provociram, bez potrebe da iskažem neke “velike” ili “male” ideje odlučio sam da se okrenem ka onome što mi je zaista najvažnije u životu -porodici, a to su Sara i Svetlana, moja žena, i ja sa njima - Mi.

Dopala mi se sloboda koju sam sebi dopustio da od slike do slike krećem iznova. Likovi nisu naslikani na isti način, čak ni paleta nije do kraja ispoštovana. Slikanje radi slikanja. Vrhunska zabava.

Ova introvertna izložba se sastoji od devetnaest slika različitih formata (od slika od tridesetak centimetara do onih od 2 kvadrata) rađenih akrilom na platnu, od kojih nekoliko njih mogu da se predstave kao triptih. A i ne mora...

Year 2010. A long winter, a rainy summer, and an even worse fall. The global warming cannot keep us warm. The temperatures over 35 degrees remain in the past. Slowly, slowly we take steps towards the overall improvement. Destitution. What is left? Fortunately, plenty of - my family. It’s been nine years since Sara was born and since we became Us. In the past three years I have had two solo art shows and have never painted my daughter. I felt bad because of it. This exhibition is dedicated, first and foremost, to Sara and to our little family. It was easy and difficult at the same time to create this concept. I was a little worried about how it will all turn out. Fortunately, satisfaction I felt after finishing the first painting, and then another one, and so forth, convinced me that I was doing the right thing. Without any irony, or a wish to express my attitude towards the environment, without a politically correct or an incorrect approach, with no desire to provoke, or a need to express some ‘major’ or ‘small’ ideas, I decided to turn to what’s truly the most important thing in my life – to my family, Sara and Svetlana, my daughter and my wife, and me with them - Us.

I loved the freedom of painting one painting at a time, starting over with every piece that followed. The characters have been painted in different fashions, I was inconsistent in terms of the palette. Painting for the sake of painting. A superb entertainment.

This introverted art show consists of nineteen paintings in various formats made in acrylic on canvas; several of

which can even be presented as a triptych. But not necessarily...
