Zharko Basheski

His work falls under the hyperrealism movement, with a specific focus on the human body.

[1] Basheski was born on 11 August 1957 in Prilep, Republic of Macedonia, then part of SFR Yugoslavia.

In 1988, he graduated at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Skopje in the class of Petar Hadzi Boskov.

Ten years later, in 1998, he acquired his MFA degree at the same institution in the class of Dragan Popovski - Dada.

In his work there are several elements which are new to the world of sculpture and that make his latest work different: the concept, contemporary views of human condition through self-observation, technical production and use of new materials (resin polyester, polymarble, silicone, natural hair), the hyper-realistic treatment, size of the work, the philosophical approach – all of which, when combined in one, offer a multilayered reading of the artwork.
