Solo exhibition of Laura Tuča
NAIVE
Culture center Grata JJ and gallery MuseumLV
20. 09. – 12.10.

The naive exhibition symbolizes the part of the world where the artist still seeks shelter and through humor tries to reflect on the issues of the modern world, including tolerance, therapy, long-term thinking and societal standards. Here, characters from TV, literature, cartoons etc., are mixed with humorous plots to explain the author's value system. “Everything that has shaped me as a being is here.” Each generation has its own experiences and memories that originally shaped it - something known and close to the heart.
"My peers often laugh when I tell how excited I am about something, for example, a cartoon, but it's no wonder - there are elements in them that keep my attention and are important to me. There are beautiful visuals, acting, story line, different values, nostalgia, etc., people have spent long working hours to create them. Through these beautiful works I draw inspiration and also find the strength to live a simple life in this sometimes not so simple world. Through stories, we get to know the world and form our value system. Visual art, like any art, is open to interpretation, but it always has an idea and a story behind it. Even if an artist chooses not to talk about his artwork, it will at some point be interpreted by others. Art is the way we communicate, share ideas and dare to think. Culture is a powerful tool in building a country." In the paintings of Laura Tuča, not only the visual, but also the narrative line of the painting plays a big role. Each work is like a separate movie.
L. Tučas' song "Who am I?", which was created as a performance at the gallery MuseumLV in March of this year, will be also played at the exhibition.
