Section 22, oil on linen (2004) by Peter Å trovs.
There are a few contemporary Slovenian painters whose work I enjoy. One of them is Viktor Šest, whose comic-melancholic paintings always tickle my cherries. Another is the morbid, crow-obsessed (and, unfortunately, recently deceased) Jože Tisnikar. A little while back, I stumbled onto Peter Štrovs and am happy to say I would unhesitatingly include him in my personal pantheon.
He has a number of great works online, including some figures in oil, a sheep on canvas series, a collection of tributes to the human body, painted windows, and big serious paintings. They’re worth inspecting. He’s clearly refining and expanding his style as time goes on, and I’m quite curious to see where it will take him.
Peter has also started blogging over at oslikarstvuinÅ¡eÄ?em ("aboutpaintingandthensome") but it’s in Slovene only. His homepage (official language: "Arafat English") is here.
