Description from the seller
This mixed-media on panel work was created by the Slovak artist Jozef Jankovič (1937-2017), who is regarded as one of the most important post-war artists of Slovakia. From the 1960s onward, his work 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. Characteristic are his fragmented, deformed human figures, often trapped in constructions, nets, or precarious balance situations. With this he depicted themes such as freedom, oppression and human vulnerability. During the communist Normalization regime, his work was banned from public exhibitions for many years, after which he found alternative avenues in, among other things, architecture, jewelry design and computer art. His oeuvre bears witness to a continuous search for human dignity and individual freedom.
