Boris Bućan, born in 1947 in Zagreb, Croatia, is a notable figure in the New Art Practice Movement. He completed his education in renowned institutions such as the School of Applied Arts, the Academy of Plastic Arts, and the Academy of Visual Arts, graduating in 1972 with a major in painting.

Bućan's expertise led him to experiment with modern visual technology like Polaroids, film, and graphic design, blending them with traditional art. This innovative approach played a significant role in forming the New Art Practice Movement.In the late 1960s, this movement gained traction in Zagreb, largely due to Bućan’s vibrant street installations. His works, often compared to Pop Art, added a bold touch to the cityscape.

Alongside painting, Bućan has also led a successful career as a graphic designer, creating posters for several significant entities. His notable work, Bućan Art 1972, is a series of fifty paintings where well-known corporate logos are tweaked to incorporate the word 'art.' This creative twist, especially during Yugoslavia's economic boom, highlights the pervasiveness of global brands and media. Through this work, Bućan cleverly comments on the commodification of art while suggesting the potential of art to transcend capitalism.
