Želja po doživetju popolne preobrazbe nas vodi v neznano, skozi Äas in prostor. Vodi nas na potovanja, na katerih svoboda dobi nov pomen in razsežnost. Bogati razgledi, polni novih spoznanj o smislu ali nesmislu in polni iskanja svobode, predstavljajo svež pogled na svet in potrebo po lastni neodvisnosti in samoodloÄanju. Prehojena pot puÅ”Äa spomine in plemeniti osebnostno rast, ki vzbuja obÄutek pomirjenosti s samim sabo ter simbolizira notranje ravnovesje. Prehod v novo obdobje ali prelevitev iz prejÅ”nje osebnostne lupine v naslednjo za sabo puÅ”Äa slike, ki so kot lepe razglednice s potovanja, katerih oÄi imajo samo vrnitev domov.
šš«šš šØš« šš®š«š šš£ (1981, Maribor) pripada prvi generaciji slovenske street art scene. Njegovo ustvarjanje je prehodilo pot od subkulture na ulici do umetniÅ”kega slikarskega ateljeja in galerij. Je prepoznaven akter pomurskega likovnega prostora s Å”irokim in aktivnim delovanjem. Deluje kot oblikovalec muzejskih in umetniÅ”kih razstav, kakor tudi kot oblikovalec nosilcev alternativne glasbe (God Bless This Mess Records), knjig, plakatov in videoposnetkov. Za Purgajevo ustvarjanje je znaÄilno prepletanje razliÄnih tehnik in pristopov, s katerimi premiÅ”ljeno sestavlja svoj lasten likovni izraz. Živi in ustvarja v Murski Soboti

The desire for a complete transformation leads us into the unknown, through time and space. It takes us on a journey where freedom acquires a new meaning and dimension. In the pursuit of freedom, exuberant vistas filled with new insights into meanings and absurdities create a fresh outlook on the world and the need for independence and autonomy. The past journey gives us memories and adds to personal growth, arousing a feeling of being at peace with oneself and symbolising internal balance. The transition into a new era or transformation from oneās former personality shell leaves behind images, like pretty postcards from a journey whose eyes see nothing but a return home.
šš«šš šØš« šš®š«š šš£ (1981, Maribor) belongs to the first generation of Slovenian street artists. His creative journey has taken him from street subculture to a painterās studio and galleries. Covering a wide creative range, he is a noted figure in the artistic landscape of the region of Pomurje. Purgaj works as a designer of museum and art exhibitions, alternative music records (God Bless This Mess Records), books, posters, and videos. His art typically merges various techniques and methods, thoughtfully building his own artistic expression. He lives and works in Murska Sobota.
