Martin Ramoveš: The Cat's Head

The Ivan Grohar Gallery in Škofja Loka presents a solo exhibition by Martin Ramoveš, last year’s winner of the Ivan Grohar Creativity Scholarship. The cornerstone of Ramoveš’s creativity is poetry, which he translates into his own distinctive comic narrative and music. His comic albums are characterised by an expressive black-and-white style, which he uses to depict gloomy stories, paired with fiction and (un)popular references to the history of the Slovenian countryside. The exhibition titled The Cat’s Head features his latest comic works, based on stories by Janez Ramoveš, which, referring to various historical facts, testify to the tragic motives behind local smuggling and the emigration of the Slovenian people to the United States as the promised land.

The exhibited works are formally related to his previous series, they are, however, different. A special feature of the presented artworks is that this particular time Gegič pairs the scenes with attributes of hunting (hunted deer displayed in a show-offy way), supervision (a hunting blind) and male toxicity (weapons) from the local environment with the theme of pandemic in a global context.
