Northeast Minneapolis based sculptor Zoran Mojsilov is the first local artist to exhibit at TMORA in nearly 10 years. His show is an exhibition of his smaller, indoor-friendly sculptures.
Zoran, known for his large-scale sculptures, mostly made of rock, metal and wood, has several sculptures that can be seen all around the Twin Cities. Locations include: The Food Building, Surly Brewing Co., Icehouse, Target Field, Can Can Wonderland’s mini-golf course, and more than 20 other sites around town.
A Yugoslavia-born sculptor, Zoran Mojsilov received his art education at the University of Belgrade, graduating in 1979, and later trained with the renowned Yugoslavian sculptor Matija Vuković. As a conscientious objector, he taught art at a military psychiatric hospital in 1981 and later went to Paris to escape the narrow confines and restrictions of the state-controlled art establishment in communist Yugoslavia.
Mojsilov moved to the United States in 1986, settling in the Twin Cities. Since then, he has participated in numerous exhibitions across the United States. He became prominent as a creator of large-scale public art, completing a number of projects in the U.S., France, and Serbia.
