Tomislav Buntak: A Journey of Encouragement

25. 05. 2012 – 04. 03. 2012

Tomislav Buntak (1971, Zagreb, Croatia) — academically trained painter and lecturer at the Painting and Drawing Department of the School of Arts in Zagreb. He is considered to be an idiosyncratic artist and a representative of the almost forgotten genres of fantastic realism and symbolism, due to his complete dedication to traditional artistic disciplines, representation and exotic themes. His cycle of monumental drawings, A Journey of Encouragement, unorthodoxly interpreting biblical themes in fluorescent colours within the baroquified romantic architecture of the desecrated former church, is a glorious example of his trans-generational, trans-culturological and trans-religious creation.
