Rajko Čuber: Images of Reminiscence

Rajko Čuber (1957, Brestanica) has set out as the principal installation concept in the salon the placing of painted canvases one next to another, and has thus placed in the space the image of a line, which symbolises the artist’s life path. Despite the fact that for this occasion Čuber has in effect painted his life in one sweep, he has consciously incorporated onto the canvas components that have created the accents of his stylistic stances in certain earlier periods. The mood installation thus fuses into one single painting, one image. The range of colour is also adapted to this. All the shades of intensive red with their distinct tonally turbulent background, where shades of blue often appear as a counterpoint of the emphatic depth, transform through the artist’s life path to a personification of his being, his experience.
