Biography

edit

In 1968 he graduated from the painting department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Since 1978 he has been working at the Faculty of Education in Ljubljana, since 1998 as a full-time professor of drawing and graphics with methodology.

Already in the 70s, Ivo Mršnik created an interesting work conceptually based on almost photorealistic drawings. Later, through a series of large portraits, his drawing was reduced to a specific minimalism that is recognizable and current in the Slovenian art scene.[3]

Ivo Mršnik is one of the most important Slovenian painters and graphic artists. He has created numerous artistic works, especially in graphics, a work which has its persuasive significance not only in Slovenia but also abroad. His graphic sheets are part of important collections such as: Albertina, Museum Collection, Vienna, Austria, National Fund for Contemporary Art (FNAC), Paris.[4]

The sophisticated and intimate style reveals immense emotional and intellectual subtlety.[5]

Exhibitions

edit

He has held numerous solo exhibitions, many in important galleries in Ljubljana, Kranj, Gorizia, Škofja Loka, and Koper (Capo d'Istria).[6]

He has participated in more than one hundred group exhibitions in many world art centers.[7]
