Vanja Savić · Journalist Refleksija u Sivom · JAT magazine · 2004 Original text · Montenegrin Postdiplomac na Akademiji lepih umetnosti u Atini, Igor Bogojević, predstavio se samostalnom izložbom u salonu Ambasade SCG u Grčkoj, u vreme trajanja Olimpijade 2004. Na svojoj petoj izložbi u karijeri, na osam velikih platna izloženih u salonu Ambasade SCG u Atini, Igor Bogojević se predstavio kao slikar ekspresionista koji svoj neosporan crtački senzibilitet vešto kombinuje sa tehnikom gustog nanošsenja boje, jer se, po njegovim rečima, "fenomen i dinamika pokreta na taj način najbolje izražavaju." "Slikajući, želim da podsvesno nametnem izraz onih trenutnih i ukorenjenih stanja u sebi i da podvučem razliku između instinkta i reakcije. Zato se moje slike baziraju na motivu konja koji je spreman da ispusti ljudski lik, da u njegovom oku zaiskri neka ljudska suza", zapisao je Igor u oktobru 2002, obrazlažući svoj diplomski rad na Fakultetu Likovnih umetnosti na Cetinju 2002, u klasi profesora Dragana Karadžića. Sloboda pokreta, na slikama mladog akademskog slikara Igora Bogojevića, predstavlja ekspresiju emotivnog stanja i instinktivnu borbu umetnika sa pošastima savremenog doba koje, kao da želi da taskrsti sa tradicijom. Obrađujući jedan od najstarijih motiva umetnosti u pastelnim nijansama, bez mnogo kontrasta, njegova ulja na platnu kao da kristališu novi pogled na vreme prošlo, i potragu za njegovim pravim mestom u vremenu budućem. Svojom virtuoznom upotrebom sive boje, Igor izuzetno uspešno interpretira prostor, plastičnost, fragmente i zastrašujuću silovitost života, u trenucima kada instinkt preuzima kontrolu. Na prošlogodišnjem svetskom konkursu, Bogojević je dobio stipendiju Grčke vlade i trenutno je postdiplomatic na Akademiji lepih umetnosti u Atini, u klasi profesora Triandafilosa Patraskidisa.
