Situation, 1986
The painting "Situation" from 1986 by Jan Tarasin is an oil on canvas measuring 75.5 x 127.5 cm. It is characterized by the artist's typical abstract expression, where figures and signs create a complex composition full of symbolic narratives and meanings. Tarasin is known for creating a unique painterly "writing," and his works are projections of meanings that cannot be conveyed in words. The artist's creativity oscillates between abstraction and symbolic representations of objects, which function on the canvas as an elaborate system of signs. "Situation" belongs to Tarasin's mature phase, where compositions display rhythm and order of forms, creating multi-threaded visual actions.
