SAFET ZEC : BIOGRAPHY (English, French, Italian)

Zec was born in 1943, the last of eight children of a cobbler. Displaced by the war, the Zec family
endend up in Sarajevo. His artistic talents became evident even in childhood. By the time he made
it to the Belgrade Academy of Fine Arts, he was clearly something of a prodigy. Yet when Zec was
in Belgrade,post-modernism was well on the way to becoming the ruling orthodoxy. Finding himself,
as a figurative artist, swimming against the tide of the prevailing fashion, he felt redundant and
increasingly disillusioned. He even destroyed most of his earlier work. He thought of giving up
altogether and becoming a musician. But in the end he knew he had to go on painting. For some
years the artist continued to live in Belgrade, during which time he and his wife Ivanka bought and
restored an old house in the historic Ottoman of Pocitelj, near Mostar, which was becoming a kind of
artist's colony. He established a workshop there in 1983 to print engravings. Four years later, he moved
back to Sarajevo while still shuttling back and forth to Pocitelj.

Before the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Zec was a well-known painter at home, his fame steadily spreading
abroad and his work being shown in galleries all over Europe, in North and South America and Japan. In
1991 Zec's dream of a tranquil life devoted to artistic endeavour began to evaporate. Having been raised in
a city where mosques, Orthodox and Catholic churches and Synagogues were intermingled, where he had
friends from every religious background and never encountered any hostility between the different groups, Zec
is still clearly baffled and disillusioned by the disaster that overwhelmed the place. The war arrived first in Pocitelj.
The ancient mosque there was destroyed, Zec's printworks and studio were burned out, and his engraved plates,
representing years of work, disappeared. The siege of Sarajevo followed, the deaths of friends and colleagues, the
decision to seek refuge elsewhere.

In 1992, unable to continue to paint and support his wife and young children as the bombardments of Sarajevo
intensified, he left the city, and, at last found studio space in the town of Udine th the north-east of Venice. With the
help of the fine-art printer Corrado Albiccoco who opened the doors of his workshop to him, Zec was able to start
anew. This extended period of reluctant exile in provincial obscurity produced an extraordinarily rich body of new

work, which Zec has continued to add to with undiminished energy since finding a place to live and paint in Venice in 1998.

SAFET ZEC : BIOGRAPHIE (anglais, français, italien)

Zec est né en 1943 à Rogatica, le benjamin de huit enfants, fils d'un cordonnier. Très vite, la guerre pousse sa famille à quitter la région
pour Sarajevo. Ses dons précoces impressionnent. Etudiant à l'Académie des Beaux Arts de Belgrade, il était déjà considéré comme un
prodige. A cette époque, le post-modernisme était considéré comme la voie à suivre. En tant qu'artiste "figuratif", il était nettement à
contre-courant; certains le considéraient comme dépassé et les illusions de l'artiste s'évaporèrent. Il a même été jusqu'à détruire la plupart
de ses travaux de jeunesse. Il a pensé à tout abandonner et devenir musicien. Mais en fin de compte, il savait qu'il devait continuer la peinture.
Pendant plusieurs années l'artiste vécut à Belgrade avec sa femme Ivanka, mais aussi à Pocitelj, une petite ville historique près de Mostar, lieu
qui devint bientôt une colonie d'artistes. En 1983, il ouvre un atelier de gravure. Quatre ans plus tard, il retourne à Sarajevo tout en continuant
à travailler à Pocitelj.

Avant la désagrégation de la Yougoslavie, Zec était déjà célèbre dans son pays. Sa notoriété débordait les frontières et ses oeuvres exposées un
peu partout en Europe, aux Etats-Unis, en Amérique du Sud et au Japon. Mais en 1991, le rêve d'avoir une vie tranquille, consacrée à la création
artistique, commence à se désagréger. Ayant été élevé dans une ville où les mosquées, les églises orthodoxes et catholiques, les synagogues se
côtoyaient, où les amis appartenaient à différentes ethnies et confessions, sans jamais rencontrer la moindre hostilité, il a été particulièrement
étonné, puis effondré par le désastre qui bouleversé complètement sa patrie. La guerre commença d'abord à Pocitelj : l'ancienne mosquée fut
abattue; le studio, les gravures de Zec furent brûlés, les plaques de cuivre, sur lesquelles l'artiste travailla pendant tant d'années, disparurent. Le
siège de Sarajevo suivit, puis la disparition de ses amis et de ses collègues le mènent à prendre la décision de trouver refuge ailleurs.

En 1992, incapable de peindre et d'entretenir sa femme et ses jeunes enfants, il quitte Sarajevo en plein bombardement, et après une odyssée de
quelque mois, il s'installe à Udine, dans le Frioul. Grâce au soutien indéfectible du taille-doucier Corrado Albicocco qui lui ouvre les portes de son
atelier, Zec peu à peu reconstitue son oeuvre. Ce long exil involontaire dans l'obscurité provinciale a produit une fabuleuse quantité d'oeuvres que
Zec continue d'enrichir avec une inépuisable énergie depuis qu'il habite et peint à Venise.
