Personal Exhibition of Janja Arnolj

Contemporary geniality of a first class artist. The artisan ability of a refined sculptress. Eclectic surprise of an unusual material. The art of Janja Arnolj has been created with original sculptures in transparent methacrylate representing an absolute novelty in a contemporary cultural panorama. She is the first and, until now, the only artist able to create sculpture in plexiglass, valued by critics, courted by intenders who have followed the development of these gifts with increasing interest, the decline of this talent, exalted by Bruno Balestrini’s photographs.

Strong Austrian roots, Slovenian blood in her veins, at 23 years of age Janja arrived in Italy; after having run a prestigious professional studio, she let herself be burnt by the “sacred fire”, she, the daughter of an artist, who from infancy had breathed creativity thanks to her father, an academic from Lubiana, a painter and sculptor of rare elegance. Her infinite inspiration became concrete thanks to her hands, receptacles of energy, that model the hardness of the metacrilato rendering it soft and versatile. Anonymous sheets of plexiglass transformed into light and transparent works of art, into ice crystals that reflect the light in a kaleidoscope of colours, in tangible verses of a poem of plastic where, in the middle of rounded and sharp shapes, she expresses herself in both figurative and abstract forms. Her creations are florescent stars in the cosmos of art. Incredible pieces for collections. Magnificent objects to observe, contemplate and put on show. Ideal for environments that aspire to a classic knowledge of art without renouncing the contemporary aspect of time that inevitably attracts us, a seducing siren’s song that echoes in the plastic atmospheres.
