Zoran Smiljanić: Comics
Ivan Grohar Gallery
30 March–15 May 2022
Exhibition curator: Boštjan Soklič
The Ivan Grohar Gallery presents the Kranj-born visual artist, comic artist, illustrator, caricaturist, script writer and publicist Zoran Smiljanić and a selection of his original comic strips from comic books.
Smiljanić’s oeuvre is very extensive and the exhibition thus presents those of his works that have attracted most public attention, i.e. two biographical comics and other comic materials related to real historical events. The exhibition features his most acclaimed works from the past two decades. These works deal with the lives of well-known Slovenians (writer Ivan Cankar, architect Jože Plečnik) and various bygone time periods that were relevant for the Slovenian nation and were characterised by historical twists and turns, and dramatic events (Meksikajnarji, Črni plamen). The exhibited works include thirty-six comic panels from the artist’s different creative periods, a poster, as well as some selected sketches and croquis drawings.
