Product Information

"Antemurale Christianitatis" "Zubun is one of the mandatory garments of female clothes in broader Balcanic area of Dinaric and central Balkanic culture. Fundamentally, it is a very simple garment made of cloth, with no buttoning and sleeves, worn all the year round. It is worn over the shirt, combined with the upper short or long cloth garments, such as dress, waistcoat, blankets...Decoration of zubun required great attention, depending on the area, different techniques of decoration were used, as well as the other additional elements, such as beads, tinsels and fringes, gracefully combined and in accordance with the age of a person wearing it. Dressy zubun of girls and brides was more richly decorated than the older womens zubun and everyday one. Since the decoration of zubun was a very slow and hard work and since it was not easy to decorate rough, inflexible base with matching colours and precision of drawing, girls had to prove their skill of handiwork and readiness for marriage"

About the Artist/Seller

Jelena Tankosic

Serbia

Serbian painter Jelena Tankosic`s works can be found in private collections worldwide. Tankosic works with acrylic on canvas, which she occasionally augments with a touch of oil. Tankosic`s first concern is texture- once she is satisfied with the textural balance, she composes the forms. Inspired by symbolism and mythology, Tankosic often paints scenes from matriarchal societies, as well as images from nature. Joyful and ornate, Tankosic`s pieces fuse abstract impressionism with realism in richly textured scenes.Discover the contemporary art of... Read More
