METKA KRAŠOVEC - A retrospective
31 January - 29 April 2012
Moderna galerija, Cankarjeva 15
Metka Krašovec, A retrospective
The retrospective exhibition honors Metka Krašovec's 70th birthday, which she celebrated last year. Staged in five exhibition rooms in Moderna galerija's west wing, the show spans four decades of the painter's uninterrupted and extremely fertile creative output, presenting all of her main periods in terms of style and content since the early 1970s: The so-called red paintings from her early period between 1970 and 1979; the drawings and paintings on paper from the New Image period in the 1980s; the "Neoclassicist images" of faces since the late 1980s; and her final period in which her so-called Neoclassicist manner develops in painting and drawing on stucco into an iconography of angelic figures in landscapes, labyrinths with cypresses, and Mediterranean groves.
The show presents 65 large-format paintings and 120 drawings on paper, many of which are on loan from numerous Slovenian public and private collections. The works were selected and the exhibition designed together by the artist and the exhibition curator Martina Vovk, PhD. Also some documentary films and interviews with the artist form part of the exhibition.
An extensive catalogue accompanies the exhibition, with essays by Petja Grafenauer, PhD, Miklavž Komelj, PhD, Andrej Medved, Tonko Maroević, PhD, Martina Vovk, PhD, an autobiographical text by Metka Krašovec, and numerous reproductions; it was designed by New Collectivism.
