Cumulations 09

CUMULATIONS is a series of post-painterly artworks by Jan Astner. According to the author, only a series allows for a real message, a transmission of his ideas and thoughts. To discuss the topic with the recipient. This is not a literal message, it cannot be in the formula chosen by the artist, but a thorough analysis of the notion of relationship from the perspective of symbolic interactionism, done by creating multi-level structures and in varying degrees of interdependence.
As an individual and creator, Astner stands in front of the viewer, showing his reception of interpersonal relations, and the oval is a perfect medium for stimulating his imagination. Mapping social relations in a painting is unique. In this context, the social theme of CUMULATIONS is an indisputable advantage.
