Blaž Vehovar: Paintings & Sculptures

14. 10. 2011 – 13. 11. 2011

Exhibition of paintings and sculpture by Blaž Vehovar. Graduate of Venetian Academy of Fine Arts acts within a group of young artists who have taken on the name of CYP2C9.

His works are impregnated by a particular kind of bitter-sweet lyricism which is achieved by the contrast between rough technique and delicate effects which we experience as strong feeling. Materials and objects often function as signs and are joined by graffiti as mediators of the code to the encoded message.

Opening programme featured Mojca Menoni (violin) and Martin Sikur (cello)

Opening speech had been delivered by Simona Lupšina from Krško Municipality.
