OTO RIMELE and BORKO TEPINA: Contour of Light
Paintings

Contour of Light brings together the artistic practices of Oto Rimele and Borko Tepina in an exploration of the relationship between contour, light, and the space in between. The exhibition is built around the question of whether light possesses its own contour and whether a contour can itself become light, examining how the visible and the intuited, the material and the immaterial, intertwine within the pictorial image. Both artists, drawing on decades of painting practice, explore the expansion of the pictorial field through their distinctive visual languages. Rimele dematerialises the image through coloured shadows and interventions of light, opening the painting into a space beyond its surface. Tepina, by contrast, creates a tension between the object and its absence, investigating the in-between space as a field of perception.

The exhibition thus becomes a meeting point between two independent yet fundamentally related artistic positions. It brings together two mature artistic practices, each questioning, in its own way, the relationship between form and its disappearance, and exploring light both as a phenomenon and as a carrier of meaning. The gallery’s circular exhibition space encourages visitors to engage in a contemplative experience and to participate in the creation of meanings that emerge within the space between perception and thought. In this sense, the exhibition transcends the conventional exhibition format, establishing itself as an open field for experience, reflection, and interpretation.
