GREDIČ GALLERY: TRIBUTE TO LOVE
The works of art on display in the Gredič Gallery include a part of his creative work in the last ten years. The common thread of all the works is LOVE. Love as the purest and strongest human emotion, which encourages life and enriches it in the most beautiful way possible. Love for fellow human beings, for the environment, love for creating a work of art—in short, love for LIFE! And hence the title of the exhibition—TRIBUTE TO LOVE—is not a coincidence, but an echo of what has been painted on the canvases!
Surrender yourself to the positive energy that Rudi Skočir brings with his original works, and let yourself be touched by the love they carry in themselves.
