The gallery collection of world-renowned artist Lojze Spacal.
The Lojze Spacal Gallery will be CLOSED until April 11, 2025, due to the preparation of a new exhibition.
Lojze Spacal (1907–2000) is regarded as one of the most prominent fine artists in the Slovenian and Italian areas after World War II. He is a world-established artist who achieved his creative peak in graphic techniques, particularly linocut and woodcut. He also created using other techniques (oil on canvas, mosaic, tapestry making and fresco) as well as with different mixed techniques (e.g. a combination of sculpting-relief and painting). He is known as an artist of Istria and the Karst, as he was inspired by motifs from both regions, transforming them into his own artistic language. His works of art received several national and international (Slovenian and Italian) awards. Spacal’s paintings and graphics feature in important modern art gallery collections all around the world. Since 1988 Štanjel Castle has hosted a permanent exhibition of his works of art.
