Gregor Pratneker - Withdrawal
As wrote the curator of the exhibition Saša Bučan “In the last creative period, Pratneker has been devoting himself mainly to landscapes – forests, which can be painted in the open air or in the studio. In 2013, he received the first award of the May Salon, which is awarded by ZDSLU. Already in 2014, he managed to convince the French jury of the Autumn Salon in Paris with the painting “Winter Morning”, which had been awarded the first prize by the ZDSLU the year before. Since then, he has regularly exhibited at all three important Parisian salons: The Autumn Salon, the Salon of Fine Arts and the Salon of French Artists. In December 2019, he received the Eugene Boudin Painting Prize, named after a famous French landscape painter, for his painting “Spring in the Mountains” at the Louvre Salon. In February 2020, he received the Mention Award at the Salon of French Artists at the Grand Palace.”
