The Piran Coastal Galleries and Koper Theatre, in collaboration and with the support of Port of Koper, will inaugurate an exhibition of eight photographic enlargements featuring selected details from the photographic oeuvre of Primož Bizjak on Thursday, 4 March 2026, at 12:00 at »Galerija Luke Koper« on the Koper city walls opposite the passenger terminal. Last year, the artist presented his first major retrospective exhibition in Slovenia at the Piran Civic Gallery.

Over the past years »Galerija Luke Koper« has established itself as an urban platform for presenting photographic projects, enabling the wider public to gain insight into selected details from the remarkable photographic oeuvre of one of the most recognizable Slovenian artists who emerged on the contemporary scene at the beginning of the new millennium.

Through photographic details, Primož Bizjak explores natural and urban landscapes, abandoned or historically marked spaces, and the relationship between human beings and their environment. His photographs, which have been exhibited in important galleries in Slovenia and abroad, combine the formal rigor of painting with photographic precision, while creating an atmosphere of monumentality, melancholy, and contemplation.

The exhibition entitled The Grey World Is Blue and Green, offering an overview of selected works created between 2004 and 2020, includes the series Venice, Defence of Venice, Sarajevo, Apuan Alps, and Munich Zoo. The exhibition was curated by the artist Ištvan Išt Huzjan and was produced in collaboration with The Piran Coastal Galleries, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, the Municipality of Koper, and Gregor Podnar Gallery in Vienna.

You are kindly invited to read the critical essay on Primož Bizjak prepared on the occasion of the exhibition by the visual arts and photography critic Miha Colner.
