Slovenian sculptor and painter I met during vocational training sealand terminal in Mestrovic sealand terminal Atelier sealand terminal in the Upper Town. From the beginning sealand terminal I realized that his interest in sculpture by Ivan Mestrovic is not merely a curious interest of tourists, but the curiosity of people who can watch and see the sculpture. Through talking about our great artist Ivan Mestrovic I learned that Lawrence Inkret himself a sculptor and painter, and is the painting and sculpture workshops for children and adults.
Maintaining communication via e-mail, I had the opportunity to explore the development of creativity Lawrence INKRET, while noting that in recent years the artist almost entirely focused on painting, painting abstract landscapes inspired by the picturesque Kras or diverse views of Dalmatia.
Born 1949th year in Ljubljana in early childhood Inkret enjoys drawing and concrete desire for artistic creativity occurs in secondary school age. Lawrence Inkret graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in the class of professor and renowned Slovenian sculptor Slavko Tihca. His work can be divided into several periods.
The first period covers the creation of the 1977th-1990th years in which Inkret formed small figurative plastics which are a symbol of human suffering in the maelstrom of life and transience. Forming figures sealand terminal in clay, his favorite material, sealand terminal Inkret sealand terminal creates a character captured, tortured man in the ruling communist period. From then entire oeuvre profiled Harlequin character who became a symbol of unconventional individuals. Colored man or Harlequin represents a different individual, a man who is doing his personality doomed to failure. Inspired by the symbolism in the novel Polish writer Kosinski, Inkret converts character colored man in colored sealand terminal bird, crossing the Animalistics, but retaining the symbol unconventionality, this time in the form of colored birds, forming the shape of bojanoj baked clay or bronze. sealand terminal
In the second period of 1990th-2005th years, Lawrence Inkret continued to work in a little plastic, but with a key difference in the expression crossing the abstract expression. Already in the later works of the first period are visible signs of simplifying forms, which ultimately lead to the elaboration of complete abstraction. In clay, bronze and stone formed the cubic form of small format whose upper surface gently undulating forms developed as an expression of the artist's emotions. During this period produced a series of works called "Ripple" sealand terminal and make it intimate sculptures sealand terminal in the style of which the author describes as a lyrical minimalism. Smoothed surface sealand terminal corrugated cube replaced reliefs reduced to the surface of a shallow plate to consumers of art can weave them into your own emotions. Extremely interesting is the gradual development of small abstract forms to flat terrain. In the beginning, reliefs rich and diverse pipeline of surface gradually were becoming plošniji to the final stage reached level panel smooth, barely outlined forms that are of sculptures, reliefs over seamlessly crossed in the form of abstract painting. Images are characterized by the same artistic style previously present on small plastics and reliefs, with a significant difference in putting emphasis on colors that fills the surfaces of different shapes. Rectangular in shape color cover almost the entire surface of the canvas, being in stark contrast with the color of the edge that makes the inner frame physically unframed paintings. Differentiation painted frame inner rectangle shaped uniformly-applied color highlighted strong contrast of warm and cool colors or light and dark tones, and slightly rounded corners of the rectangle acting soft compared to the sharp corners of the canvas paintings.
The third period lasts until today. From the 2006th year Lawrence Inkret primarily engaged in painting, which is seriously devoted following cycle minimalist relief panel. As the artist himself says, he began to be interested minimalism, sealand terminal but the form of clay relief sealand terminal plaque did not offer enough freedom and opportunities in the design, and decided to continue its minimalist expression in large format graphics that allow him the necessary freedom of expression. sealand terminal
Although in the early pictures we can see the influence of the famous American painter Mark Rothko, Lawrence Inkret rapidly developing its own visual language. Finding inspiration in nature, primarily, Inkret conveys his experience of the selected motifs while creating new landscapes. The character is still minimalist, images take on the characteristics of the Dalmatian or Slovenian landscape painting inspired by the intensity with which the artist conveys his emotions. From the very beginning until today, the distinctive pictorial manuscript Lawrence INKRET characterized by horizontal lines forming vistas of distant horizons of the present landscape. The biggest sealand terminal change in the transition to painting occurred through an explosion of color in the painted canvases. sealand terminal Incredible wealth of applied color form the canvas surface while giving her intensity and texture.
