Ervin Potočnik "Messengers"
Two views of the artist's tale of humans of the emphasis on the strongly contrasting stylised figures, which are merged and float in a white void.
These are the messengers in an unknown ritual. The paintings of a larger format (200 x 110 cm) are dominated by red-coloured figures, while the second part of the exhibition presents preparatory paintings or concepts for sculptures, with an emphasis on black figures.
