The oldest works of art were created by Tone Žnidaršič, who was active in the 1970s. His objects evolve from a typical hollow sphere. While moving around the object, the view into the sphere changes and one can observe its shell, core and the area behind it. Depending on the point of view, there are numerous angles to see the inside and outside of the floating installation.
Among the artworks on display are Maja Pučl’s paintings with openings in the paper. Dotted with round hollows on the surface, the paintings emanate endless order, balance and harmony among shapes. Light is featured in the form of points, more specifically in cut out circles in the series called Lamps.
Suzana Brborović, Lara Jeranko Marconi and Janja Kosi create artwork by layering numerous cut out shapes to give an impression of endless depths and a more spatial character.
Blažka Križan works with a specific paper cutting technique featuring a multitude of pointed slanted shapes protruding from the surface. Through the play of light and shadow they form expressive and condensed three-dimensional pieces.
