Description from the seller
This expressive abstract painting is dominated by an intense red-orange field of color, which contrasts with the light yellow and blue tones at the top. At the center of the composition is a vertical, luminous form that stands out sharply against the warm background with its white and yellow hues. The artist uses powerful, layered brushstrokes and a rich paint texture, giving the surface a lively, almost tangible quality. The combination of horizontal and vertical movements creates a subtle tension between calm and dynamism. The work leaves room for personal interpretation and evokes associations with light, energy, and the forces of nature.
Ján Kelemen (1957) is a Slovak visual artist born in Šurany. From 1976 to 1982, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, where he was taught by the renowned artist Albín Brunovský. Kelemen has a versatile artistic practice and, in addition to painting and printmaking, also works in drawing, ceramics, sculpture, and spatial installations. In his paintings, he explores the interplay of color, form, movement, and space. Nature, natural materials, and the forces of the landscape are major sources of inspiration for his work, in which abstract expression alternates with contemplative calm.
