About artist
France Mihelič stands as the most distinctive and original Slovenian master of fantastic art and as one of the main representatives of Slovenian partisan art. He studied painting at ALU (Academy of Fine Arts) in Zagreb (1927-1931), where he was strongly influenced by the Zagreb group Zemlja. In 1945 he became a professor at ALU in Ljubljana, where he had been teaching until his retirement in 1970.
Exhibition
Two floors of the Gallery host the artist's work from the postwar period, mainly from the '60s and '70s, which represent Mihelič's very productive creative period. Through the original iconography Mihelič's world of fiction tells stories, filled with dream-like visions, metamorphoses, but also melancholy, imbued with existential questions about birth, death, dying… . On display are some of his most recognisible motifs of famous 'kurent', musicians, and also mythological scenes, which he always like to form with passion. The work is distinguished for its exquisite drawing through which the author's sense for the authentic grotesque and caricature is revealed.
