Kristina Rutar: On the Origin of Species

20. 04. 2018 – 15. 08. 2018

Kristina Rutar (1989) is one of few artists from Slovenia who has chosen ceramics to become her central creative medium. This orientation was surely encouraged by sculptor and professor Mirko Bratuša, who was her tutor at the Faculty of Education in Ljubljana, and her tutors at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw where she later studied. For the solo exhibition at the lapidarium Rutar conceived and created entirely new artistic project entitled On the Origin of Species. It is the continuation of her thorough visual exploration of embryos which nowadays represent the main motif in her art production. In the conceptual aspect of the exhibition, as it suggested in the title, the artist refers to the groundbreaking theories of Charles R. Darwin.
