Nina Čelhar: Lulls

The solo exhibition entitled Lulls of the painter Nina Čelhar is a consequence of her participation at the biennial exhibition A Look 8 previous year where she received the main award. The important feature of presenting her recent paintings, divided in the four separate sections, is the the specific exhibition space itself. The core of the exhibition is the selection from the artist’s body of work of the past five years in order to point out the constants and developments in her artistic practice. Among the constants one could definitely trace the subject matter inspired by urban landscape such as residential architecture, interiors of houses and decorative plants. In her creative endeavour the artists strives to redefine these everyday objects again and again. Nina Čelhar is therefore often attracted by motifs that evoke notions of silence and solitude; however, in the appearance of her works one can also find a synonym for formal implementation of her constant search of inner peace.
