Nik Škorjanc: Naked
About the artist
Nik Škorjanc (2005) is currently in his 3rd year at the Gymnasium in Slovenske Konjice. He has been involved in art since childhood, and took it up more seriously in the 6th grade of primary school, when he won first prize in an international art and literature competition in Austria. Since his first victory, he has won several national and international prizes, published two collections of poetry and won the Young Hopes competition.
He works in various media such as traditional fine art, mixed media, photography, video, literature and theatre.
His work focuses on human intimacy, sensuality and the expression of strong emotions, such as inner split, depression, euphoria, etc.
Nik is presenting a series of word art titled Naked at WebNox Gallery. Combining poetry and drawing, he questions the meaning of nudity and nakedness - not just the physical one. In the series, he asks questions about how much nudity of the body and words means at all; if we ever get naked too quickly and if we can hurt someone by being naked.
The series is a post-love story, in the technique of word art, which reveals everything but hides too much not to put ourselves in the role of the naked body, of poetry. "There are two ways to get naked and a thousand ways to break a person."
Bodies and poetry are generalised, gender is stripped away, which is why everyone, regardless of gender and identity, can identify with his art.
On behalf of the Media Nox gallery team, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Nik and wish him best of luck in his future career.

O umetniku
Nik Škorjanc (2005) trenutno obiskuje 3. letnik Gimnazije Slovenske Konjice. Z umetnostjo se ukvarja že od od otroštva, resneje se ji je posvetil že v 6. razredu osnovne šole, ko je na mednarodnem likovno-literarem natečaju v Avstriji dosegel prvo mesto. Od prve zmage je prejel že kar nekaj nacionalnih in mednarodnih nagrad, izdal dve pesniški zbirki ter dosegel zmago na natečaju Mladi upi.
Ustvarja v različnih medijih, kot je tradicionalna likovna umetnost, mešani mediji, fotografija, video, literatura in gledališče. V svojem ustvarjanju se posveča človekovi intimi, čutnosti in izražanju močnih emocij, kot so notranji razkol, depresija, evforija ...
Nik se v galeriji WebNox predstavlja s serijo besedne umetnosti, naslovljene Gol. S kombinacijo poezije in risbe preizprašuje pomen golote in razgaljenosti - ne le fizične. V seriji postavlja vprašanja, koliko sploh pomeni golota telesa in besed; če se kdaj razgalimo prehitro in če z goloto lahko koga prizadanemo.
Serija je post ljubezenska zgodba, v tehniki besedne umetnosti (word art), ki hkrati razkriva vse, a skriva preveč, da se ne bi sami postavili v vlogo golega telesa, poezije. "Razgalimo se lahko na dva načina, osebo lahko stremo na tisoč."
Telesa in poezija sta posplošeni, spol je odvzet, zaradi česa se lahko z njegovo umetnostjo poistoveti vsak, ne glede na spol in identiteto.
Vabljeni tudi k ogledu pogovora. Z Nikom sva govorila o njegovem ustvarjanju in pogledo na umetniško sceno.
Niku se v imenu ekipe galerije Media Nox zahvaljujem in mu želim ogromno uspeha na nadaljnji karierni poti.
