MARKO ŠAJN
KRKA GALLERY, NOVO MESTO, SI
SEP - OCT, 2025
Marko Šajn is an artist who successfully combines his own individuality, dedication to creative work, and deeply ingrained perseverance. He moves confidently across various media, from graphic art to painting and sculpture, which serve as processes for exploring the boundaries between space and the viewer’s perception, with the associative element playing an important role. His oeuvre is marked by the purity of formal language, reduction, deliberateness, and subtle sensitivity. In the creative process, he is primarily interested in the structure of visual language: light, the relationship between color and pictorial surface, lines, and their material and spatial presence (architectural logic), through which he shapes his installations. His spatial solutions often function like drawings in space: precisely measured lines and surfaces create a balance between rational planning and emotional responsiveness. The monochromatic background is not merely a neutral backdrop, but an active element that determines the final appearance of the work. His recognizable visual language is characterized by refined graphic imagery. The works are either vividly colored or constructed from a restrained gray palette. They are often playful, with a visually clear language and emphasized metaphors.
