Catherine Couturier Gallery is delighted to present solo exhibition Portals, with gallery artist Stanko Abadzic. Portals takes us on a journey of perception through the intimate motif of the female nude. Photographed at thresholds, windows, and in mirrors, the subject lingers in the in-between spaces of life, in transitory moments between realms of possibility. Abadzic has photographed the same model for many years—the two share a partnership, working closely to create images born from emotional intimacy and trust. The effect is clear in the resulting images, taken not of a paid performer, but an earnest collaborator.
There’s something timeless and emotionally honest in the nude form. It’s not just about the body—it’s about light, mood, vulnerability, intimacy, and storytelling without words.
Abadzic has had solo exhibitions in sixteen European countries, Argentina, Japan, Russia, and the US. His photographs can be found in many collections in Europe, Croatia, the Czech Republic, and America, and he has received many awards for his work across the years. Abadzic is a member of the Croatian Association of Artists. He currently lives and works in Zagreb.
