Dragomir Mišina is a Bath based, Croatian born artist, and has been a studio artist at 44AD artspace for over 10 years. He graduated in 2012 with a First in Fine Art Painting from Bath School of Art and Design, Bath Spa University. Since then he has exhibited in Bath, Bristol, Oxford and London. He regularly exhibits at The Royal West of England Academy and won the Evolver Wessex Artist Award at RWA’s 161st Annual Open Exhibition. He was selected for the Saatchi Art exhibition in London “In Glorious Colour” and selected for the Saatchi Gallery Screen project. Dragomir's paintings are in private collections in UK, Europe and USA.
Dragomir’s paintings are an exploration into colour, texture, mark making and painting as a material itself. They combine deliberation and chance, functioning as a diagram of layers, marks and colours creating gateways into make-believe worlds; suggestive of physical and emotional energy present within the course of making the work.
For me, standing in front of a Dragomir Mišina painting is like getting onto a train without a ticket. But it's encouraged, and you won't feel alone, in fact, he's right there, helping you with your baggage, taking your hand and letting you step off the safety of the platform and then… just as you have found your seats the train pulls out of the station, he takes his hat off, waves it and cheers you on with a wink and smile, as you head off on the great Dragomir express, where platforms don't exist and the tickets are ripped up and thrown to the wind with glorious glee.
