Andrej Štular

Andrej Štular was trusted this year with a series of interventions inside illuminated advertising showcases (citylights). The installations function as unique author's ads that Andrej Štular designed according to his own creative poetics. The insides of the showcases are conceived with a negation of their primary function in mind: they require viewer's engagement and his immediate vicinity as their content can only be seen through a small spy hole. Art pieces, hidden in the showcases, feature a series of montages and collages in a mixed technique that combine text and images. Their interaction carries poetic, sometimes also ironic messages that question the state of the modern world in the artist's typical manner and style. The author itself recognizes that his artwork is a peculiar »insight into the mind before thoughts are even formed, an insight into random and not-yet-emancipated images«.

 

ANDREJ ŠTULAR has been active in the fields of illustration, sculpture, puppet design, scenography, painting, comics, photography and film since the middle 80'. He's a member of the StripCore collective and of the Nebo puppet theatre. He's completed four solo comics books: Lustri, Kompost, Živa sem! and Bežimo, svet se podira from the ‘Zverinice iz Rezije v stripu’ collection. His comic are regularly published in the Stripburger magazine and its anthologies. He's created different stage and exhibition projects and participated in various international comics festivals. His works deal with different spheres of the indigenous psychopathology and with more universal themes as well, like those questioning the human substance, human identity and the man's place in the structure of the modern world.

 

The realization of the project was made possible thanks to Europlakat, d.o.o.
