At the Ivan Grohar Gallery visual artist Erik Mavrič is exhibiting eight works of art drawn between 2021 and 2023, half of which he has already shown at the Long Black Summer exhibition in the lapidarium of the Božidar Jakac Art Museum in Kostanjevica na Krki. The remaining four (similar in content to the set exhibited in the lapidary) are presented to the public for the first time in Škofja Loka.

As part of the exhibition The Lost Days, Erik Mavrič explores a topic that has occupied him for many years. He transforms the selected motif material into visual parables - unique codes for understanding the structure of the existing world. The scenes of the artist's stories (in most cases) resemble scenes from science fiction films. In gloomy scenes based on expressive charcoal drawings and effective compositional solutions, the author interprets his present feelings and premonitions of the time to come. He is overcome by fear at the stratification and alienation of human civilization, which is irresistibly traveling towards its own end.

The guided tour will be led by Erik Mavrič and curator Boštjan Soklič.
