The exhibition, curated by Dr Sarival Sosič in collaboration with the artist, presents a carefully considered selection of works from more than four decades of creative production, in which painting remains a space of intense personal experience, chromatic force, and figural narration. Sicoe’s painterly world draws on memory, corporeality, and inner landscapes, with the painting functioning as an autonomous, vital, and deeply human field.

You are warmly invited. Admission is free.
