The Figurative. Selected exemples in Slovenian art

"The artworks in exhibition of figurative art, all of which have a specific poetics and content reflecting the existential experiences of our time, therefore uniquely demonstrate original desires for artistic solutions to the world of hardship, alienation and communicative isolation, or at least offer reflections on these experiences that many people are actually confronted with today." (Tomislav Vignjević)
