Ivo Prančič

The exhibition will present never-before exhibited works from the oeuvre of Ivo Prančič (*1955), who for the past four decades has been involved in the development of abstract painting in Slovenia with his own unique artistic language. The fundamental starting point of his work is the exploration of the painting process and the analysis of the painting medium, which he materializes into art by using non-mimetic elements, in the spirit of abstract expressionism and informel, paying attention to coluor layers and transitions, often using the collage principle. The exhibition will present a selection of Prančič's intimate studio works, which focus on the spontaneous play of his painterly research in an arch from the mid-1990s to today. Part of this oeuvre constitutes the painter's donation to the National Gallery of Slovenia.
