On the back author's description: JAN TARASIN / "FIRE" / 1976.
Jan Tarasin is a consistent artist, with a formed idea and artistic views. Painter freely expressing himself in many other fields of art such as drawing, graphics, photography, literature, focused on analysis and creation. An artist who, simplifying the surrounding world to a sign or rhythm, was inspired by nature, observing its mechanisms, Eastern art, painting by old masters such as P. P. Breughel, Vermeer, El Greco. The artist also studied the "structure" of chaos. In a 2006 interview, he said, Breughel dared to oppose European pragmatism and rational-logical description of the world. He was closer in his attitude, unknown in Europe at the time, to Eastern art. In the same interview, he explained why movement is more important in his paintings than shape, and why nature is so inspiring to him: For understanding the world, it is easier if we divide and order things into categories - as Aristotle wanted. When we abandon these categories we notice that the world flows, it is a river of flowing images and nothing more. (...) The more scientists delve into reality, there is only electromagnetic pulsation at the very bottom. At this bottom, everything is an anonymous impulse, so movement is more important than shape. (...) because sometimes nature itself reveals its mysterious mechanisms without any artistic or intellectual processing. What fascinates me is the inherent imperative of reproduction and the fact that it will never produce two identical elements. Jan Tarasin created Records, Situations, Complications, Dynamic Phases, Magazines from deconstructed objects, forcing the viewer to abandon order, the unambiguousness of the sign, rationalism in favor of relativism, new cognitive experiences and independently shape the environment from the objects available on the canvas in an individual context unencumbered by associations, experience and tendencies. He almost offers active participation in the creation of the work suggesting that the viewer add a continuation.
