Med Navadnimi kipi in Svetniki = Between Ordinary sculptures and Saints
Mikuž, Jure, 1949-
Mirko Bratuša is one of those rare Slovenian artists who have been following their own creativity impulse right from the beginning (in this case, more than fifteen years). His works show an excellent ...metier skill with which he masters all the materials suited for sculpturing. He has an absolute ear for resonance of each material. This mastership is never meant to show off, on the contrary, the skill discretely withdraws itself to the backgrpund and serves only as a carrier of sculpturer's ideas. His ideas are extremely original and thought out accurately, they're witty but not cheap, daring but never offensive. His series Ordinary sculptures is followed by his recent work, the four saintly figures ("saintly" in the artist's imaginative cosmogony, that's why he changed the title into Unnamed ones). Enlarged human bodies made of reticulate wire and epoxi pitch create an impression of bodies with a thin pale skin, through which veins are visible in places. Inside the bodies there is water which is an important sybolic element in the artist's wotk. The pump inside the belly of sculpture is driven by the electricity which runs through the cables led through the mouth. Bratuša deliberetly reveals the cables, emphasizing their importance in everyday life; they ensure the working of practically all the machines surrounding us, acting as the umbilical cord of our time. We won't find the saintly figure of Bratuša saintly at all, it looks more likely a homeless person or a beggar that we meet daily on the street, it looks like a sleeping or even dying body ... Mirko Bratuša therefore remains loyal to his own practice. His works treat so many symbolic and visual starting points that anyone can imagine his own story and explanation while observing them.
