MIRAN BLA\u017dEK<\/strong>
\nSTILL LIFE<\/strong>

In his foreword, Zlatko Kozina<\/strong> emphasizes:
\nThis principle of “trimming” of space is distinctly evident in the exhibited works of Miran Bla\u017eek. And not the infinite, cosmic (read: prosaic) space, but rather limited (gallery) space. Bla\u017eek uses photography printed on canvas, in the form of horizontally positioned “cubes” (canvas mounted on stretcher bars with an accentuated voluminousness, all together supported by wooden legs) and a photograph printed on canvas in a frame with glass. His palette, dominated by achromatic tones\u2014black, white, and grey\u2014features only one chromatic element: yellow, ranging from intense primary yellow to pale yellow. Observed as a whole, the exhibition exudes a sense of calm, even comfort. While yellow, as a colour, possesses an expansive quality and inherent dynamism that challenges its boundaries, in this context, it seems to confront the constrained space of defined dimensions, creating an ambience that can be described as an ecstasy of low intensity.<\/p>\n

PREFACE<\/a><\/p>\n

Biogprahy<\/strong>:
\nMiran Bla\u017eek (1983, Osijek, Croatia), has earned a BA in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 2006, and an MA at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana in 2012. Soon after completing his studies, he started to enhance his work with practices that transcend the traditional idea of painting. In his work, he is drawn to border fields of the medium, primarily drawing and painting, and he engages in transposition \u2013 through action, material, or space itself. Bla\u017eek uses the experience of painting to develop various possibilities inherent to the nature of the medium. He has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Croatia and abroad. In 2012 he has received the Radoslav Putar Award for best young artist under 35, awarded by the Institute for Contemporary Art in Zagreb, and in 2020 he received Vlastimir Kusik Award on 27th Slavonian Biennale. He took part in several artist residency programs abroad: Hafenkombinat\/HDLU, Leipzig; CREART, Kristiansand; and International Studio and Curatorial Program, New York. In 2015 he founded the project International Student Biennial, an award exhibition for students and emerging artists.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will be open during the period from 11.12. to 31.12.2024.<\/strong>
