These four artists do not appear with a joint programme. Regarding its subjects, media and style expression, the exhibition can be considered as heterogeneous.
Zvjezdana Mihalke was born in Sisak on 15.10.1968. She finished the grammar school in Kutina. She graduated at the Academy of Art in Sarajevo, however, because of the war in Bosnia, she spent a year on Zagreb Academy. Zvjezdana is represented here with her paintings in water-colour and oil. Thematically, still life belongs to her most interesting paintings. The compositions are central, full of colours and freshness of the artist's creation. She has achieved the harmony between the coloured masses and graphic elements. Macro planning in her painting has become basis for colouristic variations with lyrical and decorative character. Zvjezdana Mihalke is a poetic realist tending to abstarct.
Danijela Kurtz is another representative of the group which in its expression seems to be more traditional like that of Zvjezdana Mihalke. Danijela was born in Sisak on 19.09.1976. She finished the School for Applied Art in Zagreb, Sculpture and continues her studies at the Academy of Art, the class of Prof. Stipe Sikirica. She is represented here with her works in terracotta. An interesting part in her work are little forms in terracotta where she initiates the vitality of forms which, to a certain extent, refers to reminiscences of H. Moore. But even if these are some of his quotations, it has certainly been a good choice for this young artist at the beginning of her career. Independently of what they contain, her little forms are always full of energy.
Martina Zelenika was born in Kutina on 28.11.1978. She finished the School for Applied Art and Design, Decoration and Scenography in 1997 and graduated at the Academy of Art in Zagreb at Graphic Arts in the class of Prof. Ante Kuduza. The painter deals with the contemporary guidlines in visual art. She is trying to comprehend her work in a nontraditional way. The observers are expected to employ all their senses in order to experience the work first, and then to find out its meaning gradually through a rational analysis. The idea comes first. It is expressed using multimedia approach so that all the frontiers between sculpture, visual art and graphic have been cancelled. Installation of sculpture is independent of graphics, and the graphic forms generate from sculpture and are inspired by it. Martina Zelenika is interested in the terms of time and space which she considers as crucial and transcendental forms. There is also the question of micro and macro cosmos, as well as the position of the man in this sense. As a matter of fact, travelling to endlessness means arriving to nowhere.
Alen Miler was born on 14.04.1977. in Sisak. He finished the School for Leather, Textile and Design in Zagreb. After that he studied at the Academy for Art Teaching in Zagreb. For Alen Miler the empty and impersonal facades and walls of Kutina's buildings are a real challenge and temptation, 'tabula rasa', a possible space for communication. Enormous murals represent several portraits, among which the most eminent is the portrait of the poet Vladimir Vidrić painted on the wall of the school that has been named after the mentionaed poet. His way of painting has been influenced by comic strips and the colouring of animated cartoons. Our society could not be avoided by this phenomenon which is a part of general global influence of urbane pop-culture.
