Paintings 2003-2022
Anja Jerčič JakobFlora of the World
24. 11. 2022–28. 12. 2022
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.
Exhibition of paintings and collages 2012–2022
Suzana BrborovićConnections
2. 9. 2022–12. 10. 2022
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.

Sandi ČervekPaintings 2018-2020
3. 9. 2020–15. 10. 2020
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.
