Opening of the retrospective exhibition by Ivo Prančič

Opening of the retrospective exhibition by Ivo Prančič

The retrospective exhibition will present the extensive body of work of Ivo Prančič, who since the 1980s has made a significant contribution to the development of non-mimetic and expressive abstract painting in Slovenia and the wider region. In his works Prančič’s uses a dark colour palette and a collage approach to address universal and fundamental existential questions, while at the same time ontologically analysing the medium of painting and its significance in the period of the ultimate and irreversible dominance of the mechanical image. The exhibition will present a cross-section of his oeuvre, from his earliest works from the mid-1980s to his most recent works. The exhibition will thus showcase the works of one of the most significant artists of postmodern painting in Slovenia and will attempt to analyse the complexity and enigmatic nature of Prančič’s painting in a new way.

Exhibition is on view untill 24 August 2025.
