Enter a ‘New Dimension’ at UL SEB

On Tuesday, 5 November 2024, a new exhibition in the Gallery of the School of Economivs and Business opened. The artist Annmarie Saša Prah titled her latest opus ‘New dimension’, which, as the title suggests, is completely different from her previous ones.

Annmarie Saša Prah, artist and teacher at school and in her workshops, exhibits at the UL SEB for the third time. This particular exhibition should have happened three years ago, during lockdown, but luckily it did not, as we have witnessed a completely new body of work created over the last year and a half. Unlike in her previous works, she has used a new technique of painting with sprays and acrylics.

The paintings, which truly enliven the gallery with vivid colours, invite you to walk into a new dimension of feeling, perceiving and interpreting. Abstract works that leave everyone with their own experience will not leave you empty.

The artist became fascinated by abstract art in her early teens: “I couldn’t paint just some landscapes, still-lifes, or objects, so I hid my paintings at first. But it’s a good thing I had my mother, who adored my work,” Prahova revealed, describing how abstract art became part of her life. She has been accompanied by excellent mentors such as Zmago Jeraj, a painter, graphic artist, photographer, set designer and book designer, “who also had abstract elements in his work,” she added.

Her path through her pedagogical studies led her first to teach in a school, and then to conduct workshops in abstract artistic expression for children and adults, which Prahova invites with joy and warmth to explore and express emotions with colours in her painting studio Slikarski brlog in Ljubljana.

When asked what the future may hold, she replied: “This was an outpouring of emotions, I’m a little empty right now and until I have new energy I won’t think about it,” and with excitement in her eyes, she added: “but I have new ideas for the painting in the dark workshop.” 

You are cordially invited to take a walk through the ‘New Dimension’ at the UL SEB Gallery, where the artworks will be on display until early 2025.
