The art works of Igor Antić aim to explore and highlight economic and political forces operating within a given context. He creates images, objects and situations as physical "grids" from which emerges the social and cultural context of the chosen site. Through these, questions linked to the conditions of art production and its use in general, are raised.

He is the son of poet Mika Antić.
