The painting 'Complication of a Sequence VI' from 1991 is an oil on canvas work measuring 73 x 81.5 cm, signed in the lower left corner: Jan Tarasin 1991. On the reverse side there is a signature and description: JAN TARASIN 1991 / 'COMPILATION OF A SEQUENCE VI'. Tarasin's work is characterized by a continuous search for balance between elements of nature and abstraction, where his paintings form monotonous sequences without repetitions, with irregularities that create a new rhythm. Objects in his art are sets of signs of a symbolic and abstract nature, reflecting the hidden order of nature and close to metaphysics. The composition provokes interpretation and shows dynamic tensions between program, chance, and circumstances, creating a unique drama.
