Boris Gaberščik
Overview
Personal Collection 08, The Comb of Light and Darkness, 2021
Boris Gaberščik (1957) is widely acclaimed for his recognisable analogue still life photography, in which he plays with objects, light and composition to produce new visual and contextual meanings. His works are internationally recognised and included in many museum and private collections. He has received several awards for his works, which have been presented in publications in Slovenia and abroad. In 2018 he received a Prešeren Foundation Award, the highest national award in the field of arts, selected and granted by the Prešeren Foundation. His works have been presented at Paris Photo (2010, 2011), Photo Basel (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2025), viennacontemporary (2019, 2021, 2022) and The Photography Show by AIPAD (2025), among other fairs. Since 1985, he has had many solo exhibitions in Ljubljana, Slovenia (Gallery Equrna, Museum of Modern Art), Graz (Orpheum), Salzburg (Gallery Fotohof), Warsaw (ZPAF), Paris (VU') and has participated in group exhibitions all over the world.
