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 devoted his life to cultivating a 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 statement. Jemec constantly alters his materials and techniques to imbue each phase of his career with freshness and mystique. Gašper's work has been widely exhibited in solo and group shows in a variety of international institutions, art fairs, art festivals, museums and galleries, including Art Paris, Art Madrid, Art Moscow, Essl Museum, European Central Bank in Frankfurt, MuseumsQuartier in Vienna and Venice Biennale, from America to France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Poland, Russia, Austria, Japan, United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia. His artworks are included in numerous permanent art collections, both private and public such as of European Parliament in Espace Léopold, Brussels and also of European Commission in Palais Berlaymont, Brussels. He has resided and worked in Indiana, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Vienna, Hamburg, Takamatsu, Valencia, Moscow, Normandy, Paris, Tasmania, Barcelona, Galway, London, Chamonix, Salento and Marseille. In his artistic practice, he focuses mainly on painting, sculpture and site-specific installations. Gašper Jemec works as an independent artist.
