The exhibition titled "Architecture" by painter Jasmina Runje, presenting herself for the first time in her hometown, with a large solo exhibition, will be opened on Tuesday, April 20, at 7.30 pm at the University Gallery "Vasko Lipovac", R. Boškovića 31.
Jasmina Runje presents seventeen large-format works created during 2019. Inspired by architectural masterpieces, she created a cycle of imposing canvases framed by the broad term ‘”architecture”. Taking a segment of an individual building, whether sacral or a neglected factory whose parts belong to the past, the author places composition elements in the context of that painting and her own view on certain architectural elements in her present, while harmonizing colors with the drawing. History and art professor Anđela Boljat will introduce the artist to the Split audience.
Visitors are kindly requested to comply with all measures and recommendations issued by the National civil protection headquarters.
The exhibition will remain open until May 10, 2021.
