AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This work in mixed media on panel was created by the Slovak artist Jozef Jankovič (1937-2017), who is regarded as one of the leading post-war artists of Slovakia. Since the 1960s, his work has focused on the position of the individual within a repressive political system. After his training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, he developed his own visual language in which figurative and abstract forms come together. His fragmented, distorted human figures, often trapped in constructions, nets, or precarious balance situations, are characteristic. With this, he depicted themes such as freedom, oppression, and human vulnerability. During the communist Normalization regime, his work was excluded from public exhibitions for years, after which he found alternative avenues, including architecture, jewelry design, and computer art. His oeuvre bears witness to an ongoing quest for human dignity and individual freedom.

Provenance: Private collection, Netherlands

Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing shop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we employ restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, please let us know.
