Chess, the dark side, murder and Uros Djurovic
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
I think all chess players can relate to Uros Djurovic’s Night of the Pawn short and/or animated films. I particularly like the ones involving the Kung-Fu Cowboy! It is abundantly clear that he loves the game of chess, and –while it is true that he is a POOR LOSER–haven’t you once (or twice!) entertained the idea of murdering your opponent? BE HONEST! There is a little of the Kung-fu Cowboy in all of us…
Uros Djurovic (born 1979)
”He paints and draws, creates woodcuts and produces animated films from his works. His motifs tend to have a dark quality. Light and shadow are used to create somber urban scenarios. However, the aesthetic sequencing of the images in combination with intoxicating film music produces an utterly compelling atmosphere.”
