Imagination does not question taste. It always defeats it. Taste is narrow-minded, and its freedom is limited. Art is another name for the freedom created by imagination. In it, everyday things spin in a wild dance of images, materials, and procedures. Everything is permitted because everything is real.

Jurij Kalan
A certain event, a situation provokes me and manifests itself transformed as an image on a canvas. Photography helps me, with which I have the power to quickly record moments. Searching for deformation, different views, colors... helps me build a picture.
I am interested in life, nature, people, animals, and their relationships.

Vadimir Leben, Ubrisani
A series of towels that, with their images, textures, and patterns, challenge painterly intervention is a playful response to towel reservations, the habit of beachgoers to leave their belongings by the shores and thus secure a spot on the beach. In the early morning hours, a walker is greeted by an exhibition of towels, carefully spread out and weighted down with stones at the corners. The painter is tempted to add his own commentary to the “exhibition”, but he holds back. The idea haunts him and gives rise to a dialogue between terry cloth and acrylic, which brings the need for his own corner on the beach to the walls of the gallery.

Miha Majes,
is a Slovenian visual artist, active at the intersection of painting, graphics, digital media and installation. His artistic discourse is the appropriation and deconstruction of popular iconography, myth and visual codes of conspiracy theories, with which he questions the processes of forming personal and collective narratives. His practice combines diverse materials, thematic sets and conceptual frameworks into a self-referential, critically saturated visual language.
