Stane Jagodič (born 15 June 1943) is a Slovenia
n free-lance artist and publicist. He was born in Celje
and spent his youth in various places near Šmarje pri Jelšah
. In 1964 he completed his studies at the School of Design and graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana in 1970. He works as a free-lance artist in various fields: painting, graphic arts, caricature, photo-montage, object-montage and assemblage.
He was interested in the outside image-form of the figurative or object world and also the inside. In the early
seventies he began working on X-ray collages (X-Ray Art), abstract painting, kinetic solutions, spraygrams and
cybernetic constructivism. He then began to break through the inside of machine-computer objects. Ever since 1965
he has placed an emphasis on an engaged art (set of problems dealing with local issues or humanity as a whole) using
satirical drawing, photo-montage, three-dimensional objects – and all this by means of a poetic symbolism, which is expressed
also in word form.
He was a member of ZDSLU (Union of Slovene Fine Arts Associations) and DOS (Association of Slovenian Designers), the
Cartoonists Writers Syndicate New York and an external
collaborator of the international journal Graphic Design, Seoul (South Korea). He was the initiator and leader of the Grupa Junij, or the June Group in English, 1970 - 1985 (international art movement), the creator of the Junij International Art Collection and the initiator and leader of the Aritas-satirA Slovenian Triennial of Satire and Humour (1995-2001). He has put on more than fifty solo exhibitions and has taken part in more than 200 group shows, as well as numerous art juries at home and abroad.
In 1989 his monograph was published, 1993 saw the issue of his catalogue Častilec svetlobe, srebra in rje (Worshipper of Light, Silver and Rust) and in 2004 his memoirs entitled Orbis Artis-Nemirno in Kreativno (Orbis Artis-Restless and Creative, 1943-2004) were published, which includes more than 800 pages. He has received more than 50 awards and prizes for his creative multi-media
work, mostly abroad.
