HIS LIFE'S WORK

A genuine follower, Bergant did not content himself with copying Baroque art; instead, he recreated the tension of its voluminous forms seeking to break out into space as organic growth. In Bergant’s greatest works, it grows to such extravagance that in the context of Slovenian wood-carving production it may at times appear more ‘Baroque’ than the works created in that historical period.
