PAINTING from Geography of Memory Series Painting

Gašper Jemec is an artist whose work is both timeless and unique. The son of a painter and of an art historian, he became aware of his own creativity at a precocious age and has devoted his life to cultivating his restless and experimental nature. Jemec's multi-media work is both sensual and cerebral, and he blends technology with tradition in order to manipulate texture, color and light in new and stimulating ways. Jemec often works in several disciplines at one time, freely moving from painting to sculpture, photography, and installation. In some works he demonstrates a virtuosity of color; in others it is the absence of color which makes an aesthetic or philosophical gesture. Jemec constantly alters his materials and techniques to imbue each phase of his career with freshness and mystique. His work has been widely exhibited in solo and group shows all over the world, from Slovenia to America, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Poland, Russia, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Japan, United Kingdom and Australia. He has resided and worked in Indiana, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Vienna, Hamburg, Sakaide, Valencia, Moscow, Normandy, Paris, Tasmania, Barcelona, Galway and London.
