Aux Maniere, later AUX Manir Slobodan Sajin was a contemporary art group from Serbia in 1982-2009, established by Slobodan Šajin (1952–2009) and
Momčilo Rajin (1954).
History

"Aux Maniere" was established in 1982. From 1982 until 1985, group designed record covers for famous Serbian pop-rock groups, such as

In his last five years Šajin exhibited in his house garden, place named "Plain air gallery".
