Otvoritev razstave: Nenavadna Bitja v Nenavadnih Svetovih

[SLO]
"Živjo, moje ime je Jošt in ustvarjam pod psevdonimom Smetnik.
Smetnik izhaja iz kombinacije besed smet in umetnik, saj je veliko mojih začetnih
del končalo v smeteh. Z ustvarjanjem pod tem imenom želim sprejeti lastna dela, ne kot smeti ampak
kot reprezentacijo svobodne volje, želje po ustvarjanju in raziskovanju nenavadnosti.

Moje ilustracije so v veliki večini valovitih oblik, nenačrtovane ter abstraktne.
Na tej razstavi predstavljam 20 del iz večje zbirke Nenavadnih Bitij v Nenavadnih Svetovih.
Vsako bitje je drugačne oblike, ima svoje ime, ter kratek opis zakaj obstaja.

Vsa dela izhajajo iz začetne valovite oblike, narisane na papir s črnim finelinerjem
in so nato digitalno pobarvana.

Ta razstava ni namenjena samo razstavljanju mojih del, je tudi vabilo.
Sprejmite nepričakovano, najdite lepoto v zavrženih sanjah, začutite ustvarjalnost
v vas in raziščite neraziskano.
Konec koncev smo tudi mi Nenavadna Bitja, ki živimo v Nenavadnih Svetovih."

"Hi, my name is Jošt and I create under the pseudonym Smetnik.
Smetnik comes from the combination of the words "smet"-trash and "umetnik"-artist, as many of my initial works ended up in the trash.
By creating under this name, I want to accept my own works, not as trash but as a representation of free will, the desire to create and explore the unusual.

My illustrations are mostly wavy, unplanned and abstract.
All works come from an initial wavy shape drawn on paper with a black fineliner and then digitally colored.
In this exhibition, I present 20 works from the larger collection of Unusual Creatures in Unusual Worlds.
Each creature has a different shape, has its own name, and a brief description of why it exists.

This exhibition is not only about displaying my works, it is also an invitation.
Embrace the unexpected, find beauty in discarded dreams, feel the boundless creativity within you, and explore the unexplored.
After all, we too are Unusual Creatures living in Unusual Worlds."
