| Biography | |
The life style and work of Miran Kres (1973) explores themes of the mind, body, and spirit with an emphasis upon postmodernistic cultural identity and existential personal experience. He studied Educational Fine Art at the University of Ljubljana. In 1998 he graduated from abstract painting. He spent the following years in Ljubljana and traveling throughout Europe and North Africa. In year 2000 together with the group of ten Slovenian artist he participate in conceptual art exhibition Das Project Gauguin in Institut fur Kunstgeschichte in Graz. Theory of Postmodernistic Simulacrum and analytical psychology influenced the development of his art from 1999 to 2001. He went to New York where he attained the contemporary views and reflections in multimedia art. His works often focus on the marginal existential social codes and towards the construction of a self within a cultural, historical, and social space. From 2002 to 2003 he lived in Amsterdam where the central, though not exclusive theme of Kres's work has been an exploration of mortality and alchemy, a controversial subject that Kres has updated and extended with wit, verve, originality and force. During his art presentation in Amsterdam he was accounted with Steven Postma. They created conceptual module The Pink Triangle Projects.
Recently, Kres has exhibited at the Slovenian Galleries in Ljubljana and internationally.
His paintings are also represented in both corporate and private collections
