Samuel Grajfoner je z dolgoletno predanostjo grafičnemu mediju in ustvarjalno doslednostjo vseskozi ohranjal kritičen razmislek o položaju grafike v kontekstu sodobne vizualne ustvarjalnosti in s svojim delom dokazoval njeno aktualnost in izrazno raznovrstnost. Razstava predstavlja grafike velikih formatov v tehnikah gravure in suhe igle, ki so nastale v zadnjih nekaj letih in so večinoma prvič predstavljene javnosti. Na njih se zrcali umetnikovo razumevanje ustvarjalnega procesa kot spontanega organskega razvoja priprave matrice materializiranega v odtisu na papirju ali prvič tudi v bronu. Grajfoner ne beleži in posreduje že znanega in videnega, ampak nas napeljuje, da upodobljenemu sledimo, se pred grafičnim listom premikamo in ga opazujemo toliko časa, da uvidimo skrite in manj znane podrobnosti njegovih mentalnih konfiguracij.
Odprtje bo spremljalo vodstvo umetnika Samuela Grajfonerja in kustosa razstave Božidarja Zrinskega.

With his long-standing commitment to the medium of printmaking and his creative consistency, Samuel Grajfoner has always cultivated a critical reflection on the position of printmaking in the context of contemporary visual art, demonstrating with his work its topicality and diversity of expression. The exhibition presents large-format prints in the techniques of engraving and drypoint, created in recent years and mostly presented to the public for the first time. They reflect the artist’s understanding of the creative process as a spontaneous, organic development of the preparation of the matrix, which materialises in an impression on paper or, for the first time, in bronze. Grajfoner does not capture or convey what is already known and seen but encourages us to follow the depicted, to move in front of the print and observe it long enough to see through the hidden and less known details of his mental configurations.
The opening will be accompanied by a guided tour by the artist Samuel Grajfoner and the curator of the exhibition Božidar Zrinski.
