Andraž Šalamun
Landscapes of the Sky
A memorial exhibition that honours one of Slovenia's key painters – a philosopher and member of the OHO group. The drawings and monumental canvases executed in acrylic on jute reflect his extraordinary artistic path characterised by red and blue motifs.
His whole cycle of repetitive motifs belongs somewhere between gestural abstraction and expressiveness. It splits and sinks into the surface, creating the path to places beyond the author's and our experience
Andraž Šalamun was born on 1947 in Ljubljana and died on 2024 in Koper.
In 1975 he graduated from the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana. He was a member of the OHO group in the period 1968−1971. He lived in Koper.
