CITY MIRRORS were made in the breaks between other larger works, from materials found specifically for them or from those that remained after earlier projects. Nevertheless, these works are not secondary or any less valuable. On the contrary. They satisfy the artist’s unsurpassed need to paint. Only, this time he does not take brush and paint into his hands, but saw, planks, hammer, nails. The Mirrors are abstract paintings, which, as Nikolić likes to say, are painted by the city dwellers. He only places them in logical and harmonious relations and helps them to see the light of day. And all of us, who live in the city, and who sometimes throw from our homes, an old door, window, cupboard or chair, can find a piece of ourselves in them.
