Jason Milanovic

Artist Statement

I’m a sculptor whose art practise varies across a variety of mediums. The materials I work in are bronze, ceramics, plaster, silicone, steel, fibre glass, hydroponics and concrete. Aside from traditional sculpture I also enjoy painting, drawing and photography.

The objects and forms that I create usually find their origin in the age old sculptural subject the human figure. Within this tradition I have found the magnetic pull of the traditional materials bronze and clay irresistible and in a bid to unbind myself, to face the reality of trying to discover something new, I have discovered how to use alternative materials and techniques. From these I have developed artefacts and representations of the human and human made form, which show a spirit of lost antiquity both of man and geological creations.

I produce work for exhibition, which has been shown in various galleries around Adelaide and have created several diverse commission pieces for local and overseas clients.

I have conducted various bronze casting workshops as well as four major public art commissions as a collaborative artist and project director. I also provide and facilitate tuition in bronze casting and am currently teaching in a small indigenous woodworking program.

Artist Background 

 Jason comes from the west coast of South Australia.  Having been employed in a range of occupations including plastic fabrication, sign installation, farm work, painting and decorating, and back yard mechanics, Jason made a life changing decision in 2002.  He moved to Adelaide and enrolled at the Adelaide Centre for the Arts, graduating in 2005 having completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Applied Design, majoring in sculpture.

The objects and forms that Jason creates usually find their origin in the age old sculptural subject the human figure. Within this tradition the magnetic pull of traditional materials bronze and clay has for him been irresistible, to face the reality of trying to discover something new. (Jason quotes)

 I have discovered how to use alternative materials and techniques. From these I have developed artefacts and representations of the human form, which show a spirit of lost antiquity both human and geological.

.  Some of the materials he uses include bronze, ceramics, and plaster, silicone, steel and concrete.  His affinity with the ocean environment is particularly reflected in his bronze pieces that are based around a Grecian/Roman theme of ocean relics reflecting the ravages of time.

As well as creating several diverse commission pieces for local and overseas clients, Jason has participated in over 30 group exhibitions, 2 solo exhibitions and 4 major public commissions.
