Portrait of the Artist: Vesna Jovanovic
“Seeking to stray from the objectifying and coldly scientific nature of typical medical drawings, Jovanovic treats her works as portraits of the psyche and as landscapes of the interior.” —Maria Girgenti, Newcity

A Studied Intimacy: Vesna Jovanovic and Michael Tegland at Packer Schopf Gallery

Vesna Jovanovic
“…it’s not just the dichotomy of chaos and precision that makes Jovanovic’s works compelling. In “Foreign Bodies” Jovanovic depicts objects alien to the human body embedded within her networks of bones and organs. Drawn significantly larger than life, they confront the viewer with all their visceral details.” —Robin Dluzen, Visual Art Source

Vesna Jovanovic’s Art Shows ‘Foreign Bodies’ in Our Innards
“In some areas it appears we are viewing fluids or a cross-section of tissue through a microscope. This effect, a fortuitous byproduct of the way ink interacts with the paper’s synthetic surface, enhances the drawings’ visual impact by opening up another dimension in the work.” —Vera Scekic, Gapers Block

Review: Vesna Jovanovic / International Museum of Surgical Science
“Whereas today’s medical artists strive for scientific accuracy above all else, Jovanovic’s drawings are wholly subjective, tinged with a sublime sense of corporeal horror that taps into David Cronenberg territory without ever losing sight of the body’s essential beauty and wonder.” —Claudine Isé, Newcity
