Goran Tomic/ Winter Issue

Goran Tomic, a self-taught artist from Sydney, Australia, creates collages that capture the chaotic beauty of urban life. His pieces, often made on the move—in cafes, pubs, or even on public transport—reflect the shifting dynamics of his surroundings and daily routine. Prompted by his transition from a spacious house to a compact apartment, Goran utilizes materials like cardboard, envelopes, and old book covers, blending them into distinctive compositions that embody the city's vibrancy. His art transcends mere visual expression; it is a journey through urban decay in search of the "Wilderness Robe," a symbol of authenticity in a constantly evolving world. Influenced by Robert Rauschenberg, Goran’s installations and performances challenge viewers to rethink the boundaries between art and everyday life.
