The annual exhibition of paintings and sculptures by members of Likovna republika was officially opened at the Sveti Martin Gallery in Sveti Martin na Muri. The opening ceremony took place on Sunday, 8 November, showcasing works that reflect the long-standing artistic collaboration and friendship among the participants.
The exhibition includes 27 paintings and 4 sculptures by Likovna republika members, with the artists primarily inspired by the landscapes of the Mura River and Sveti Martin, which are a favourite theme of their works. The event also features a retrospective of the International Art Colony held at the end of June, which brought together artists from several associations.
Participants in the colony included members of Likovna republika, as well as artists from the KULA Kneginec association, the Ormož Art Society and LUČ Čakovec. The art colony is dedicated to the Mura River, which symbolically connects the aforementioned associations and their artistic activities.
Milena Petković, president of Likovna republika, highlighted that the exhibition represents the friendship and collaboration developed through various encounters and artistic events. Support for the work of Likovna republika is provided by the Sveti Martin na Muri Municipal Office and the Sveti Martin na Muri Tourist Board.
The exhibition was officially opened by the Mayor, Martin Srša, who on the occasion invited members of Likovna republika to the official opening of the House of Culture, planned for next Wednesday. This event will further strengthen the cultural offer and sense of community in Sveti Martin na Muri.
