Appearance and characteristics of Sabac murals

  1. The mural The well-tempered piano is located next to the Mihailo Vukdragović Music School. On it, you will notice the recognizable contours of the piano and the musical notation on the torn back of the bar code (which is a symbol of consumer society). In addition, you will see the character of Johann Sebastian Bach, who peeks behind the music and who observes the students and professors of the music school. The message that this mural sends is that we need to change the attitude of society towards art, which alone has the ability to make us better people.
  2. Mural Small world - the work of the artist Jelena Gavrilović. The black-and-white picture draws the attention of passers-by to the visible and invisible aspects of the city, so you can see: the starry sky, the old bridge and the fortress, the inhabitants, the animals and the buildings. All these motifs permeate and give one urban and modern image of Sabac, which will not leave you indifferent.
  3. Mural Large Fish - is located near the famous Market (green market), which the inhabitants of Sabac remember from childhood by the aquarium from the fish markets. This mural sends a clear message and is a dedication to ecology and the fight for more beautiful and cleaner cities. The mural is dominated by fish motifs that go from the river to the city.
  4. Mural Change is located between Sabac Victims Square and the pedestrian part of Karadjordjeva Street. During the work on this mural, as much as 102 tons of paint were used. The author Igor Marsenić brings color to the life of Šabac and its inhabitants with this mural. His idea is to make the whole mural act as one big application.
  5. Mural Victory represents a critical departure from the current situation in culture and art, which, unfortunately, has become engaged, applied and commercial. This mural is located in Milorada Šapčanina Street and you can reach it on foot, which will establish the most direct interaction between yourself and this important work of art.
  6. The mural Seasons is the work of the artist Dragiša Marinković. On it you can notice vertical human figures, presented as shadows in different positions and movements - which indicate the presence of man in an urban environment.
  7. Mural Illusion is a kind of art experiment in the field of illusionist painting. On it, complex shapes are reduced to the most basic forms - regular geometric shapes, and the colors used can be found in the immediate environment.
