Artist Statement for Dragan Jascur
|
|
|
GETTING OUT INTO THE LIGHT: as the most common setting of the painting, in literal sense.
GETTING OUT INTO THE LIGHT: as a phenomenon of the new vision of reality.
GETTING OUT INTO THE LIGHT: as seeking the way, as engrafting of a man.
GETTING OUT INTO THE LIGHT: as a final solution.
LANDSCAPE is just a motive, basis, just the way of expressing oneself through symbols.
WAY- as a way of life, winding or sheer, muddy or dirty, wide and light, but more often unpredictable on the horizon as the life itself.
CROSSROADS are most often doubts, the moments of decision or partings.
TREES symbolize people, angels and God. The most favorite ones are the following: poplar- if there are three of them, they represent the holy trinity for sure, but individually they are husbands, fathers, lovers, friends, guardians,…the male principle; birches and willows- represent women, mothers, daughters, girls,…the female principle. And really, even in the paintings without people, there is nothing else but people and their life stories.
WATER as time.
LAND as a mother.
HEAVEN as a father.
COMPOSITION is based upon the golden cut or renaissance frame, but with more modern freedom of interpretation, most often in the function of rhythmic repetition of dimensions, like the rhythm in music, some sort of a sound in the painting.
PASTE, i.e. structure, symbolizes a man’s imperfect attempt to imitate God and to create out of land, which reveals him to naked truth in front of God, other people and him himself.
LIGHT AND COLOR symbolize perfection which like a cape covers imperfect man, it symbolizes God, who with his gentle, light touch gives life to everything on this world, creates balance, governs and protects.
CONTRASTS of the basic artistic elements, like in poetry, imperfect and perfect, light and darkness, male and female, land and sky, God and man, are the basic prime-movers in the unity of oppositions.
TITLES are basically just variants which are less bound to, and are more in charge of stirring one’s imagination, and mostly revealing the sentimental relatedness of the author with his works.
