IVAN SKUBIN / Searching for lost time

Art Exhibition by Ivan Skubin titled In Search of Lost Time.  

From April 26 to May 24, 2025, the Alma Medana gallery in Goriška Brda will host the first exhibition of the year, featuring one of our most treasured artists, Ivan Skubin. For the first time in his long and distinguished sculptural career, Skubin will present his visual opus—long hidden and protected as part of his intimate relationship with the landscape—here in Medana.

An art historian and critic wrote in her speech: "One of the most significant creative impulses was undoubtedly his repeated study stays in Paris, a powerful source of inspiration for a series of works on paper—a kind of "In Search of Lost Time," also connected to the artist’s reading of Marcel Proust’s cycle of novels and to the title of this exhibition."

He embarks on a mysterious journey through space and time in their unique dimensions. In doing so, he reaches into the essence and fragments of his life in a deeply internalized and subtle way.
