"Artist and chemist Vesna Jovanovic has done Gray one better: she’s created anatomy art based on ink blots. Yes, it’s pareidolianatomy. This is a very cool gallery of images that, well, has to be seen to be appreciated."

"Whereas today’s medical artists strive for scientific accuracy above all else, Jovonovic’s drawings are wholly subjective, tinged with a sublime sense of corporeal horror that taps into David Cronenberg territory without ever losing sight of the body’s essential beauty and wonder."

"If Sutton’s work tantalizes and cautions us about a fantastical future, Jovanovic’s comparably restrained hybrids locate those fearsome possibilities closer to home, as we come to see in the most accurate scientific images strange chimeras of ourselves."

Time Out Chicago
"Party on, medical-illustration fans, at receptions for Vesna Jovanovic's "Pareidolia" (pictured) and an exhibition of student and faculty projects from UIC's biomedical visualization program."

"Art and science are generally considered very separate today; they have very different connotations, even stereotypes associated with them. Yet I find that my interest in these two fields stems from the same place: a deep curiosity about the world and the human position within it."

"Az amerikai kortárs képzömüvész és kémikus, Vesna Jovanovic munkáit a természeti világ és a világot megismerni igyekvö kutatók eszközei inspirálták. Különös, szürreális képein az ember belsö szervei laboratóriumi berendezések kanyargó sokaságával együtt jelennek meg."

University of Chicago Magazine
"Chicago artist Vesna Jovanovic, for example, contributed Timekeeper, a self-portrait in which she overlaid several years’ worth of full-body X-rays, then drew or painted clock gears over the heart and other organs. Near the arms she sketched the beginnings of wings, showing what may come in thousands of years."

The Chicago Maroon
"Among the artworks on display will be Vesna Jovanovic’s 'Timekeeper,' a multimedia work utilizing various medical scans of the artist’s own body enhanced with watercolor, ink, and graphite. 'The piece is a record of the passing of time,' Jovanovic wrote in Science in Art’s blog, 'not only a lifetime illustrated by the medical scans but also time through evolution, technology, and culture.'"

Afterimage
"A looming square whose size and prominence is multiplied by the worm's-eye perspective of the camera, the billboard is an anti-monument to the transience of the now vacant, purely functional, profit-generating commercial space. These photographs chronicle an essential part of real estate development."

"Art often surprises me as I am making it, and I find these particular moments most satisfying while engaged in the creative process. Although my creations may reflect my personaliy and ideas, this reflection should not be viewed as the intended purpose for my artwork, but rather as a mere consequence."

"Ventidue artisti a confrontarsi sotto il segno della 'genialita' e della 'follia'. 'Resi partecipi di una iniziativa singolare che guarda alla follia creativa'."

"Genius & Madness / Genio & Follia, vuole essere l'ulteriore riprova non solo di quanto affermato dallo psichiatra e filosofo svizzero Ludwig Binswanger, fondatore dell'analisi esistenziale ad indirizzo psicopatologico (basato sulle tesi filosofiche di Edmund Husserl e di Marin Heidegger) . . ."
