 Under the influence of the realistic trends that emerge at the Zagreb Academy of Fine Art and the art of Lovro Artuković, a new generation of young artists is being formed in the spirit of "new realism".What many artists have in common are scenes of a realistic motif, which are at the same time a reflection of the artist's inner self and his attitude towards the world.Stipan Tadić creates paintings from a series of strokes in quadratic fields that merge into a coherent whole, in which he shows that it is possible to remain faithful to the image and at the same time to show the width of formal aspects of painting.
