On Friday, 4. in April, the Pavlovci gallery will open an exhibition of the painter Veljko Toman, " a painter of inspiration and decisive painting action. His creation stems from the inspirational power of nature, which touches and connects with the painter's inner strength and experiential intensity. A genuine, deep and open dialogue with diverse natural environments calls him inexorably to artistic and visual realization. He realizes it in pictorial fields, which he characterizes with a temperamental gesture and with coloristic vividness. In the interpretation of the chosen motive matter, what is seen is (re)formed through the painter's intimate emotional world."The curator of the exhibition, art historian Anamarija Stibilj Shajn, wrote about the creation of Veljka Toman, in the catalog with which we will accompany this exhibition.
Veljko Toman was born on the 29th. December 1944 in Split. He attended primary school in Zalec, and the secondary school of design (graphic department) in Ljubljana. In 1964 he entered the pedagogical academy (art department), where he graduated in 1966. He then enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, where he graduated in 1971 with Prof. Maxim Sede. In 1975, he completed his master's degree in restoration and received the Student Award for painting Roman frescoes from ancient Emona. From 1971 until his retirement in 2006, he was employed as a restorer – conservator at the City Museum of Ljubljana. He is engaged in painting, graphics and illustration, and pedagogical-andragogical work. Since 1973, when he first exhibited at the City Gallery in Kranj, he has had 188 exhibitions at home and abroad. He has also participated in more than 300 group exhibitions. He has received more than fifty awards and honors. He lives and creates in Rakitna.
Welcome to the opening of the exhibition!
V petek, 4. aprila, bomo v Pavlovčevi galeriji odprli razstavo slikarja Veljka Tomana , " slikarja navdiha in odločne slikarske akcije. Njegovo ustvarjanje izvira iz inspirativne moči narave, ki se dotakne in poveže s slikarjevo notranjo močjo in doživljajsko intenziteto. Pristen, globok in odprt dialog z raznolikimi naravnimi okolji ga namreč nezadržno kliče k likovno-vizualnemu udejanjanju. Uresničuje ga na slikovnih poljih, ki jih zaznamuje s temperamentno potezo in s koloristično živostjo. V interpretaciji izbrane motivne snovi se videno (pre)oblikuje skozi slikarjev intimen emotivni svet." Tako je o ustvarjanju Veljka Tomana, v katalogu, s katerim bomo pospremili tokratno razstavo, zapisala kuratorka razstave, umetnostna zgodovinarka Anamarija Stibilj Šajn.
