Review: Split Graphic Biennial 2007

Splitgraphic 2007 (Split, Croatia) Catalogue Essay excerpt:
Split Kao Sjeciste Hrvatske i Medunarodne Graficke Scene
Lavorka Magas Autumn 2007
The following is a translation of a portion of the original Croatian text

Although realized with minimal financial resources (this was only reflected in a modestly produced catalogue), SplitGraphics gathered a number of international artists. Not only did it present a view into different segments of Croatia's art production, (the Split art scene and its generation of younger artists) it also gave the public the possibility to meet some relevant names in the world graphic scene. The graphic micro cosmos of Canadian artist Janice Wong, whose solo exhibition was one of the events at SplitGraphics 3, is characterized by the use of colourful visual shapes--reminiscent of the works of Miro and Klee--rhythmically distributed on a spare background, creating interesting and playful abstract compositions whose titles suggest certain connections with subjects and ideas from the real world.
