Fragment, 1977
The painting 'Fragment' by Jan Tarasin from 1977 is an oil on canvas measuring 92 x 65 cm, signed in the lower right corner: J. Tarasin 77, with signature and description on the reverse. The artist employs a unique painting language, exploring 'objects' on various levels of de-objectification. His painting has no direct references to specific forms of nature but creates complex, abstract compositions full of symbolic signs and forms. Tarasin combines elements of micro- and macrocosm, giving objects suggested substance, weight, and dynamics, making the work seem like an endless, rhythmic record of continuous transformations, conflicts, and tensions between structure and chance.
