Jovan Obican, Pair of Lithographs on Wove Paper, Signed & Numbered
Offered here is a vibrant pair of whimsical serigraphs by the celebrated Croatian artist Jovan Obican, each signed, dated, and marked as Artist's Proofs from 1982. Known for his playful style and use of bold color, Obican's works blend folk-inspired fantasy with modernist technique, making his art instantly recognizable and highly collectible. The first composition depicts a bearded figure in a rainbow-striped hat, accompanied by two cheerful birds, intently working with a colorful printing machine. The second shows a lively figure operating a fantastical contraption, rendered with Obican's signature humor and folkloric flair. Both works exemplify the artist's joyful, narrative-driven imagery and richly textured application of color. Each print is inscribed "Artist's Proof, Edition 275" and hand-signed by Obican in graphite, dated 1982. As proofs, these impressions are rarer than the regular numbered edition, making them especially desirable to collectors. These artist's proofs capture Obican's enduring ability to transform everyday subjects into imaginative, theatrical tableaux alive with character and movement. They would make a spirited addition to any collection of 20th-century prints or folk-inspired modern art.
