Kariž is a Slovenian visual artist working at the intersection of painting, conceptual art and new media. This retrospective exhibition of drawings and paintings revolves around the motifs of the human nose and animal beak. Some of the works featuring human and animal bodies have been updated in the course of the artist's career (from 1994 to the present day), with new shapes and flurries of strokes over the motifs to obscure them.

The cycles Emptiness, Pressure and Transition featuring documentary photographs taken between 2005 and 2021 reveal the authors eye for local and global socio-political phenomena. With a clever conceptual approach he tackles current dilemmas of the capitalistic economy, the press and the post-COVID society.

This is a retrospective exhibition of paintings created by the artist who draws inspiration for her artistic exploration from plants and flowers. Nature, a dominant motif, has followed her through life from a tender age. She uses it as a means of interpreting reality and also life in general. In her own unique way she applies classical techniques, such as oil and egg tempera, and blends them with modern dripping techniques to create artwork brimming with incredibly thoughtful sensibility.

Suzana Brborović initially only tries to revive the shadows and bring them to light again. This might be because her father is in the construction business in Slovenia. As a child she often wandered around constructions sites, which give a clear idea about architecture, with bare walls that seem like skeletons and are later covered in flattering, reconcilable façade.

Huzjan paints the absence of human existence in a sky of stillness, where man sees his hope. The sky has always represented a life hidden behind real life.

The creator, who first presented her work at Bežigrad Gallery 2 in 2014, is now presenting a selection of large paintings done mostly on canvas. The guiding principle in the creation of these artworks are small items that are painted in the centre of her images in seemingly floating spaces and are similar to magma itself.

The exhibition focuses on the presentation of the painter’s lesser-known works, which depict his personal geometrical expressions. The artist is marked by various creative periods – from his early beginnings when he was creating a material world to monochromatic black paintings, which are the highlight of his oeuvre, and to his last, lesser-known, period, exemplified by the artist’s handwriting with distinct individual geometrical forms concentrated on a single painting image.
