Department of Painting

 

 

The fundamental idea behind the Open painting studio is to deepen the relationship toward the reality based on the coordination of its transfer and selection to the targeted object of interest. This is happening in the consciousness of the whole spectrum of historical realities and in their relation toward the current ones. The mutual dialogue between the teacher and student should lead to a plea to have the will to concentrate on a search and observation of an art problem. The range of issues and artistic contents does not focus thematically (the theme is a student’s choice), but principally (the task for a painter in general) toward the character of language/image. The scope of studio interest is reflection and understanding of space, the relation between modified and original space, issue of environment, progression of changes in today’s space or country, influence of the architecture on the look of painting language and a painting form, a medium of painting in the virtual era.
