“Cameos were worn by women as jewelry or a status symbol. Men wore them as religious or political emblems. Napoleon’s crown, modeled after those of Roman emperors, was decorated with cameos representing the likenesses of ancient gods. “Cameo Burst”, a cycle of paintings by Milan Kralj, a painter from Belgrade, exhibited in Gallery B2, are quite literally “held up” by the walls, but they are here only so that the audience, the observer, or an admirer could take them in the mind and awaken the quest for meaning within.” Extract from the text ”Cameo Burst” by Savo Popović written for the catalogue for the exhibition of the same title
