Žarko Vrezec: Documents 1990–2020
The overview exhibition gives us an insight into the work produced over the past thirty years by Žarko Vrezec, a disciplined explorer of a purified artistic language within the boundaries of ideologically neutral modernist practices, and one of the most actively and explicitly abstract painters on the Slovenian art scene since the late 1970s.
In his creative process, Vrezec is an avid explorer of the abstract illusion, both in the two-dimensional painting support and in the physical space of the gallery. He has established an interactive relationship with the viewers with his structured canvases or wall installations/objects, in this way tapping into the practices of the postmodern era.
