Lion on the Cross – Sculpture Exhibition
Artist: Ivan Klapez
We are thrilled to announce that Ivan Klapez is the next artist to develop an exhibition within the ART1a Konzeptkunst Atelier!
Ivan Klapez (b. 1961, Sinj, Croatia) is a London-based figurative sculptor known for exploring the expressive power of materials and the architecture of form. His work reflects the human will to exist and create—capturing both struggle and dignity through figures, metaphors, and monumental structures.
Blending realism with symbolic transformation, Klapez allows identities to shift, objects to become metaphors, and forms to echo classical influences such as Donatello, Michelangelo, Verrocchio, and Rodin. His sculptures combine structural clarity with emotional resonance, resulting in compositions of strong internal cohesion.
His new sculpture exhibition, Lion on the Cross, opens on 28 November 2025 at ART1a Konzeptkunst Atelier. We are excited to see how he brings his unique artistic vision into the ART1a space!
The vernissage will take place on Sunday, 28 November 2025, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at ART1a Konzeptkunst Atelier.
The exhibition will be open from 28 November 2025 during the gallery’s opening hours:
