Gallery of naive art — Attraction in Kovacica Municipality

We came on Sunday and it was closed, although the website and the sticker with working hours on the door both indicate that the Gallery works on weekends. Shame! Luckily for us, the private gallery in the same courtyard (called Naiva Art Kult) worked and the owner Bosko was very kind to tell us the story with true love for Kovacica art movement and showed all paintings that he has on offer (and he has a lot of the best naive artists!). I found his stories more interesting that anything you could read yourself, since he knew all the artists personaly and has some great stories to tell. So, my advice is, even if you manage to get into the Municipal Gallery, don't miss to go across the yard and ask Bosko dozen of questions. Even maybe buy...

What a fabulous gallery with the most amazing pieces of naive art. Zuzana Chalapova's earlier works, illustrations and painting has a special room in this gallery. She was one of worlds most famous naive artists and literally put Serbia on the map. There are fabulous pieces of naive art from various famous naive artists.(Slovaks / Serbs) Pavel Hajko, Ivan Meli-Chercik. Rzalla Markov. The gallery is one of many buildings in this quant Slovack town in Serbia with famous and historical pieces of Art. A must visit if you are an Art lover. The town Kovacica is beautiful and this gallery is situated...

Naive art - simplistic / innocent / natural untaught talent / child like. Expressing the joys and moments of local life.

Look out / ask about the artists who put unique child figures into every one of the paintings to represent the child they never had. Great resource to learn about the art form and artists. Consists of a museum and 2 private galleries with own collections representing local artists. Gallery owners deeply involved with community and their stories bring the lives of the artist and their artwork to life.

Nice restaurant 'story of time' few...
