| Description | The exhibition presented works by Martin Mainer and Samuel Pauč, mostly from the last two years. The painters of different generations are united not only by their relationship of professor and teacher, or professor and assistant, but above all by their spontaneous approach to painting and their strong expressive expression. Both artists work with the attributes of the traditional medium of painting and with the blending of illusory and meta-illusive elements and fragments of different semantic layers, the world of the visual, the pictorial, the subject and the linguistic, which open up new spaces of imagination. While Mainer's paintings are related to his spiritual and meditative path, Samuel Pauč's approach is, by contrast, much wilder, and his blending of painterly layers often evokes the landscape after a catastrophe. Both artists, however, are primarily interested in questions of the nature of painting, what makes a painting a painting, what painting is, how pictorial space is created and what the role of the frame can be in a painting. |
