Miha Štrukelj: Memories of a City
February 4 – March 11, 2012
Opening: Saturday, February 4 from 6-9 pm
LMAKprojects | 139 Eldridge Street (Between Broome and Delancey) | NY, NY 10002
New York - LMAKprojects is pleased to present Slovene artist Miha Štrukelj’s Memories of a City, a first solo exhibit with the gallery. For this exhibit Štrukelj will create an installation of murals and small drawings on panels throughout the gallery to address the limitations and confines of the gallery space. In his work Štrukelj’s methodology is a reduction of everything back to a grid, contour and line. His eye reacting to architectural settings combined with angular patterns that are contradicting and complex. Bringing formal order into the newly created chaos and disparate elements the grid evokes both the sense of painting and drawing tradition as well as Cartesian coordinates and maps.
Štrukelj’s scenes are usually urban spaces defined by architecture, landmarks and points, which create a tension and shape our view. In between there are empty and forgotten spaces that he captures. These anonymous moments are combined to emphasize and construct a new reality of disparate contemporaneity, a visual study of digital existential dilemma of the human experiences. The panels, found within the installation, are either layers of mylar stripping away the trails of the subjects surrounding or wood panels jutting the subjects into the viewers space. They are components of the installation but embody their own sense of space. Through these elements, Štrukelj is able to play with depth and layering while also enhancing his point of focus be it a line, structure or individual. The acts of the subjects are not heroic yet through isolation the viewer is absorbed into their act in life. Štrukelj is an observer, yet his drawn observations force the viewer the illustrated realm and become part of these isolated instances in time. He exposes the grey area that we dismiss in our everyday life.
Miha Štrukelj was born in 1973 in Ljubljana, Slovenia where he still lives and works. He has an MFA from Academy of Fine Arts and one such awards as the Henkel drawing award, the Pollock-Krasner Grant to name a few. His work has been shown at the 53rd Venice Biennial at the Slovenian Pavilion and can be found in the public collections such as the Uni Credit Bank, Siemens Collection, Adrian Riklin Foundation in Vienna, Societe Generale in Paris, ECB - European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Museum of Modern Art Ljubljana, NLB - Nova Ljubljanska Banka, and Government of the Republic of Slovenia.

Burton Silverman to Judge Art League’s Upcoming Portrait Show
This spring the Art League will hold its second juried portrait exhibition. "A Common Theme: Portraiture" will open May 20 and run to June 17, 2012. Taking its title from the popular "A Common Thread" of 2009, this competition will be open to figurative works in all mediums, including photography. We are happy to announce that Burton Silverman, the renowned portrait artist, will be our judge. The deadline for entries is April 2.
Burton Silverman is one of America's foremost portrait painters. Whether working in oil, watercolor or pastel, he has concentrated on, as he puts it, "the landscape of the human face". He has completed countless commissions of notable patrons and has had thirty-one solo shows in major cities across the country. His work has appeared in national and international exhibitions, including the National Portrait Gallery, the National Academy Museum, the Butler Institute of American Art, the Mexico City Museum of Art and the Royal Academy of Art in London, garnering numerous prizes along the way, among them the Ranger Purchase Award at the National Academy, twice-in 1965 and 1983.
His paintings are represented in nearly two dozen public collections, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum, the Mint Museum, the Delaware Museum, the New Britain Museum of American Art and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art and National Portrait Gallery, as well as private collections in both the U.S. and Europe.
The Art League is privileged to have Burton Silverman judge this show.
