Janez Lenassi - Sculptures in stone

In terms of both private and creative life, Janez Lenassi (1927, Opatija) was rooted in the ambience of Slovenian Istria and his awareness of this defined his entire sculpting oeuvre. Facing and having the opportunity to examine a selection of decades of Lenassi’s sculptural conceptualization, the pursuit of the creative path of research, analysis and synthesis that he set for himself reveals a creatively unified oeuvre, despite logical evolutionary changes, as well as a unified notional, substantial and communicative dimension, always conditioned by the primordial source of life and all found in nature, which defines his intimate intention in the quality of attitudes to material, space and time.
