Pulse Contemporary Art Fair, New York City, May 8-11, 2014 

Ikon Art Foundation  is pleased to announce the successful presentation of Croatian multimedia artist Marko Tadić (b. 1979) at PULSE Contemporary Art Fair, in New York City. Ikon Art Foundation shown at the fair as part of the POINTS special exhibition, curated by the fair’s Director. Marko was selected as a finalist for this year’s Pulse Prize, garnered positive press coverage in The Art Newspaper and was featured in ArtInfo’s New York Art Fairs edition.

Tadić’s most recent series, Accumulation of Images from Below, incorporates drawing, painting, collage, and animation. In relation to this work, the artist states that “thinking and rethinking is the most important thing for us… my work is a sort of practice for the mind and fertile ground for the development and revision of present and past ideas and events… a sort of accumulation, from which ideas derive by themselves, never intentionally, because of its clear and simple process”.

A small selection of Marko’s work is shown below. For further information about purchasing 2-D work from Marko Tadic’s latest series and animations shown at Pulse NY, please contact Linda Mateljan at Ikon Arts Foundation.
