The Birth of Objects XIV, 1997
The Birth of Objects XIV' from 1997 by Jan Tarasin is a large oil composition on canvas measuring 140 x 120 cm. The work illustrates the artist's fascination with the world of signs and objects, which in his work are a projection of meanings that cannot be expressed in words. Tarasin created a unique painterly 'script,' where objects are reduced to arrangements of spots, forms, and lines, and the composition develops into a multi-threaded and rhythmic whole. The painting comes from the mature period of the artist's work when his creations became an expression of the continuous attempt to tame forms and express independence through painting.

Inner Narrative
The painting explores the process of the formation of objects in painterly form as a complex system of signs and forms that coexist and contrast, imposing their own order and rhythm.
The key to interpreting the work
Interpretation should pay attention to the artist's idea of 'script' and the continuous play between reality and abstraction, where objects and their signs become carriers of deeper meanings.Auction information
