Objectification
The painting 'Objectification' from 1989 by Jan Tarasin is an oil on canvas work measuring 100 x 130 cm, signed in the lower right corner: JTarasin 89. Tarasin's work focuses on exploring 'objects' at various levels of de-objectification, where real forms transform into abstract signs creating a complex system of relationships. The artist defines his painting as a search for a movable model based on conflict and transformation, rejecting direct references to nature. The composition of the painting represents a musical dramaturgy of unique, rhythmic arrangements of forms and rhythms, provoking the viewer to multiple symbolic and plastic interpretations.
