Aux Maniere, later AUX Manir Slobodan Sajin was a contemporary art group from Serbia in 1982-2009, established by Slobodan Šajin (1952–2009) and Momčilo Rajin (1954).

History

[edit]

First phase: Duo

[edit]

In 1975, Šajin and Rajin, both historians of art and artists, participated in Serbian conceptual art group "Group 143".

From 1980–1982 Slobodan Šajin worked on silk-screen printing and developed a unique art graphic (print) monotyping technique called "REPRINT" (REcycle PRINT). The technique became the base of the artworks that "Aux Maniere" made in the following several years.

"Aux Maniere" was established in 1982. From 1982 until 1985, group designed record covers for famous Serbian pop-rock groups, such as U škripcu and Laki pingvini.

Second phase: One man group

[edit]

After Momčilo Rajin left in 1986, Aux Maniere became a one man group - Slobodan Šajin.

From 1986-1990 Aux Maniere produced collections of abstract art paintings.

After the beginning of civil war in Yugoslavia in 1991, Šajin engaged in commercial arts. After the fall of Slobodan Milošević's regime in Serbia (2000), he started again making fine arts. In 2002 he promoted a new art brand, Trash brand AUX MANIR, which became the name of the group.

In his last five years Šajin exhibited in his house garden, place named "Plain air gallery".
