Three Features of Miro Trubac's Sculpture

The work of Miro Trubac centers on figural narrative sculpture and small statues. Trubac's work can be interpreted in three aspects: hobby sculpture, irony and work with iconography. His hobby sculpture is understood as a that which makes a theme of the intimacy of the home, as well as the minute scale of the statues, which can be created at home without much demands in terms of space and technology. Trubac employs irony as a tool of communication, by which means he swaps around the roles of individual actors in his sculpted scenes, or shifts the motif into a diametrically different context, thus building a situational paradox that creates a vision of sarcasm. Iconography gives Trubac the chance to reinterpret tried and true solutions from art history, thus detracting from the original motif and imputing to it something new and diametrically opposed or reworking sacred or profane motifs with a visual language that is non-historical and contemporary.
