Exhibition Paintings in space<\/strong>, by Mihael Puntari\u0107 will open on\u00a0Tuesday, March 20 at 7pm<\/strong>\u00a0at the Karas Gallery (Zvonimirova 58).<\/p>\n

(…)\u00a0In his most recent work of art, Mihael Puntari\u0107 has broken entirely free from all content, context, and even expression. In the true sense of minimal art, the author strives towards the affirmation of paintings as art objects by consciously aligning with the work of authors such as Malevi\u010d, Reinhardt or the artists gathered within New Tendencies<\/em>, and their comprehension of art. In this case, Mihael Puntari\u0107 practices a highly material manner of painting, i.e. constructing an art object \u2013 one that rules out symbolic and referential dimensions of painting. (…)<\/p>\n

(…)\u00a0The deliberation of reductionism present in the work of Puntari\u0107 has enabled him to deconstruct the painting as an art object, thereby generating an extension of the established approach to displaying art. His Paintings in Space<\/em> invite us to stop before the said paintings\/objects while bringing into question the two dimensions of a painting and the three dimensions of a sculpture exhibited in the gallery space. (…)\u00a0As interpreted by Puntari\u0107, art is materialized through conscious and consistent reduction to its fundamental constituents. All the while, his distancing from emotion and from the risk of entrapment by pathos, aims to accomplish the exact opposite \u2013 the author\u2019s attainment of the essential conclusions reached by his predecessors in order to explore the possibility, like the ones before him, to raise new questions in art about art.<\/p>\n
