Gral is a company founded in Skopje in 1991 as a gallery-antique shop for trade in works of art and antiques. Since 2008 GRAL has been performing with a sales gallery and its own exhibition space in the center of Skopje. In the past 12 years GRAL has dedicated itself to exposing and nurturing the painting medium as a relevant form of expression, exploring the spaces and discussions opened by painting and following its development in the Macedonian context. The gallery collaborates with some of the most important modern and contemporary artists in the country, striving to achieve close collaborations and support of young artists.
