The fourth independent exhibition of the Macedonian author Ivan Ajievski is entitled "Monument to the Unborn" and is a conceptual project in which, through fine art, the author tries to present to the general public his critical attitude towards the real social situation as a reason for the migration of young people from the country .

The exhibition will present photographs printed on canvas, which have been modified with an abstract approach using gold as a medium, creating 12 new works of art-images depicting (in reality non-existent) monuments erected in the presented area of ​​Macedonia in honor of the unborn , the lost generations, as well as the displaced citizens from the country.

The display of the abstractly painted monuments in the natural space is not accidental, because it draws a parallel between the untouched clean nature that Macedonia can be proud of and the dirty perverse political scene in the last 20 years, which led to the current economic and social situation in the country as a direct cause of the reduced birth rate and increased youth emigration.

The exhibition "Monument to the Unborn" is part of the program of the Center for Contemporary Arts - Skopje for 2024. The opening of the exhibition is scheduled for September 23, at 19:30 p.m., in the Mobile/Montage Gallery in the Francophonie Park in Skopje.

Ivan Adzievski was born in Skopje in 1985. He graduated from the Faculty of Law at UKIM in 2009. He entered the waters of painting in 2018 with the realization of his first solo exhibition "Beauty spot" in the gallery "Concept 37", where works were exhibited in the combined technique of acrylic on canvas with a representation of a female figure and a nude in an expressionist and cubist manner. .

In 2022, he staged the second exhibition "Beauty spot II" in KSP "Centar-Jadro", and he realized the third conceptual exhibition entitled "Forms of the System" in 2023, where he presented paintings, installations, sculpture and video projection that had aimed at encouraging public dialogue and creative activism to overcome corruption as an economic and political problem.
