Exhibition “Inherited Costume”

Join us on Thursday, April 23, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, at the “House of Robevci” in Ohrid, for the opening of Mila Dobrevska’s solo exhibition, entitled Inherited Costume.

Inherited Costume reflects the spirit of the Macedonian woman, translating traditional values ​​into new features of contemporary behavior. In this context, inherited costumes are not only the clothes we wear, but also the way we present ourselves and how others perceive us, reflecting the inherited traits and tendencies that make us recognizable. The exhibition addresses the younger generation as a reminder, precisely, of these values ​​and virtues that remain an inseparable part of us: kindness, love, critical awareness, perseverance and resourcefulness. These characteristics are presented through a dualistic interpretation of the past and the present, with comparisons, harmonies, interweavings, creating new interpretations and adaptations.

Inspired by traditional ornamentation and embroidery, Mila re-examines and adapts the basic elements of art: color, line, surface, form, material and space using hand-modeled cement mass, surfaces sprinkled with glass and innovative weaving and painting techniques. Inherited values ​​are translated into new forms that boldly lean towards the contemporary social context.

We are expecting you, on Thursday, April 23 at the “House of Robevci” at 7 pm.

Exhibition “Lust for nostalgia” of the Ohrid painter Sasho Blazes

 28. 07. 2017 – 10. 08. 2017

Last night at the Gallery “Robevci” in Ohrid the sixth solo exhibition of the Ohrid painter Sasho Blazes, entitled “Lust for nostalgia”, was opened.

Sasho Blazes was born in Ohrid in 1980, and this is his third solo presentation to the Ohrid audience. In addition to the five solo exhibitions, this artist, who completed his education at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Bucharest, Romania (2002-2006), where he received his MA in 2008, has so far participated in numerous group exhibitions in the country and the world.

His latest cycle of paintings, made in the last few years (2015-2017), consists of a series of portraits that seem to refer to the classical concept and procedure in their creation. These portraits of celebrities and close people are striking through the deconstruction of the represented character, a deconstruction that can be interpreted as a transformation of the actual appearance by penetrating into the structural sediments that construct the person. The author himself, defines the appearance in his previous works as “memories”, “mirrors of reality”, “narratives”, “different realities”, represented through a combination of various coloristic abstract and/or figurative fragments.

In the same time, Blazhe’s color is a pronounced element with its artistic and sign autonomy in resolving the surface of the image and defining the character of the presented physiognomy, and the vibrant coloristic solutions associate to the view in a blurred mirror.

The exhibition will last till 10 August.
