Noel Art
For the Noel Art project, eleven Croatian artists from different generations were gathered, with whom Noel achieved exceptional collaboration, experiencing their menu through a gastronomic-synesthetic journey. With a wide stylistic and thematic range, their interpretation of collaboration with the Noel Art concept was offered by the painter Hana Hanak, painter Ariana Herceg, painter Vesna Matić, painter Alba Miočev, sculptor and painter Denis Kraškovič, sculptor Matija Plavčić, painter Gabrijela Rukelj Kraškovič, painter Krunoslav Stojanovski, sculptor Sanjin Vinković, painter and illustrator Dominik Vuković, painter Nataša Vuković, and multimedia artist Marta Živičnjak.
From lyrical abstraction and intimately treated motifs, through expressionistic and surrealist hints in painting to various forms of abstract reduction of the world towards neo-constructivism (Sanjin Vinković) or organic abstraction (Matija Plavčić, Marta Živičnjak), in their works for Noel Art, the artists provided observers and art lovers with the opportunity for very flexible visual-emotional-mental connections on multiple levels.
In doing so, they did not neglect certain humorous elements of artistic creation that can be detected in their works. They offered us an experience that is positive and indicates a tendency to convey constructive and positive experiences from the world around them. With frequent references to nature and vegetation, where in an associative sequence of the “cradle of nature” there are also ingredients from which Noel’s chef Mario Mandarić creates such astonishing combinations.
