Zapis, 1993
The painting "Zapis" from 1993 is an oil painting on canvas measuring 50 x 70 cm, signed in the lower left corner: Jan Tarasin 93, and bearing a signature and description on the back. Tarasin's work is characterized by the search for a unique artistic language based on de-objectification, where objects from reality transform into symbolic and sign forms. The artist inherently combines elements of micro- and macrocosm, with compositions unfolding in the rhythm and dynamics of continuous transformations, where objects reveal only suggestions of their substance and spatial tensions.

The painting is a visual record of the ongoing dialogue between program and chance, depicting rhythmic, multifaceted actions in space, in which elements create a new dramaturgy and rhythm.
The key to interpreting the work
Interpretation should consider the artist's fascination with signs as carriers of meaning, and the ongoing attempt to tame and reinterpret objects as abstract forms in his painterly narrative.Auction information
