Bio/Statement:
Mihael Klanjčić is the winner of the 2023 Radoslav Putar award.
Mihael Klanjčić is interested in the relationships between materials themselves, materials and everyday objects, and the possibilities that arise from these relationships. By combining materials, intervening on objects, and collaging them, he creates abstract situations at first glance. In the end, he is interested in the possible presence of a certain event or space in the form itself.
Klanjčić’s work has been exhibited at several individual and group exhibitions. Selected solo exhibitions include: Spaces at Matice Hrvatske Gallery, Zagreb (2023); Objects at Salon Galić, Split (2022); Interspaces at Žitnjak Ateliers, Zagreb (2021). Selected group shows include: 57th Zagreb Salon of Visual Arts at Meštrović Pavilion, Zagreb (2022); 35th & 36th Youth Salon at Meštrović Pavillion, Zagreb (2020, 2022); Art is Doubt at Lexart Skladište, Zagreb (2020).
Support: Mihael Klanjčić’s residency is made possible with support from Trust for Mutual Understanding.
