Biography
Dušan Perčinkov (born 13 April 1939 in Skopje) is a Macedonian painter, graphic artist and art teacher, the most significant representative of geometric painting and one of the most autochthonous artists, credited with shaping a number of painters of the younger generation.
Dušan Perčinkov graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade (1963). He was a professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Skopje. He represented Macedonia at the Venice Biennale (1978). In his paintings and graphics, he carefully and in an original way observes the environment (landscape, urban areas), creating initially soft surrealistic representations with simple signs and shapes (Sea, 1963; Imaginary Landscape, 1967).
In the late 1960s, he turned to abstract, strictly geometric compositions with pastel colors, without an obvious counterpart in fine art (Landscape with Traces of the Sun, 1967; Tide, 1968). In the next stage, he replaced the delicate colors with intense ones and introduced symbolic associative elements (Landscape that Tremble I, 1972; Sunset, 1975). At the same time, he published graphic maps with sophisticated, complex and conceptually thought-out content (Nothing, 1991; Sums, 1992).
