”Freshness, flow, whiteness and a sense of colour: here are Meta’s wonderful illustrations, inviting us towards the light, sun, towards delights and sensations. In her watery pools and lakes, luscious colours are bathing freely, turning in front of our eyes now into legumes now into a gentle, almost Klee-like orchestration of abstract painting rhythms.” ALENKA

Meta Wraber is a graduate in design, best-known as an illustrator. Her trademark are culinary watercolours, etheric female figures and abstract, poetic landscapes that can be admired in her illustrations for the poetry collection Labrador by Kajetan Kovič, which was published as an updated edition last year. This time it is furnished with images that are a bit different. The author’s need for finding a new expression and her desire for larger formats have transformed spontaneously into a series of gorillas and other monkey species. Portraits of monkeys are her intimate step of exploration into finding the most honest narrative that an image could tell. Thoughtful, mysterious and telling animal faces resemble the human ones, thus prompting both unease and giggles at once.
