Painter Luka Širok, from the northern Primorska region, presents himself for the first time within the Piran Coastal Galleries with two series of paintings from 2023 (V redu sem / “I’m Fine Paintings I”) and 2024 (Ti? Jaz! / “You? Me!”), united under the common title Nič osebnega (“Nothing Personal”).
The small-format paintings depict random fragments of life through the lens of a distant, impersonal observer who perceives small human figures in unrecognizable spaces, in more or less unusual situations. The works are connected by irony, which blurs the boundaries between empathy and indifference, reminding us that what appears neutral can become personal. Nothing Personal is therefore not merely a statement, but a state of mind – both individual and societal.
The exhibition is curated by dr. Tina Jazbec. The opening will also take place on Friday, March 13, 2026, at 6 p.m., one hour before the opening at Loža Gallery. The exhibition will be on view until May 2, 2026.
