Jovan Tomasevic monument (Spomenik Jovanu Tomaševiću) / Bulevar Jovana Tomaševića
Vojislav Vojo Stanic is a Montenegrin sculptor and painter. He was born on February 3, 1924 in Podgorica. He grew up in Niksic, where he finished elementary and high school. He graduated from sculpting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 1951, in the class of professor Alojz Dolinar. At first he enrolled in painting, but immediately moved to sculpture. After graduation, he moved to Herceg Novi and became a professor at the School of Art Crafts.
In 1955, he started painting, and in 1956 he exhibited his first portraits and landscapes in Belgrade and Podgorica. At the beginning of the sixties, he completed his monument to Jovan Tomasevic and thus he officially ceased to deal with sculpture. In 1958 he began to work as a professor of the Higher Pedagogical School at the Department of Visual Education and remained in that position until the school closed in 1965. Thus Stanic became a free artist.
His life in Paris in 1958 and Rome in 1973 and 1974 influenced the formation of his style. His paintings are often set in the Mediterranean, and the characters on them are ordinary, small people. Some paintings depict people on the streets and in the crowd, while others place people lonely in their rooms. He combined realism and surrealism, with elements of fantasy. Critics find similarities with the surrealism of Rene Magritte and the metaphysics of Giorgio de Chirico.
In 1952, Stanic became a member of the Association of Artists of Montenegro. He became a corresponding member of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1977, and a regular member in 1985. Stanic's greatest success was his representation of Montenegro at the 47th Venice Biennale in 1997. In the Art Museum of Montenegro in Cetinje, his paintings are part of a permanent exhibition. He has received numerous awards for his painting work.
