About The Artwork

WORKS 2022: SPECTRAL STUDIES Intro text For a while now I have been trying to somehow bring the logic of the painting by American painter Mark Rothko into the figurative work that I have been developing through the years. In the year 2021 these efforts finally started to bear fruits. The formal logic that dominates my older work was successfully pushed into the background and into the foreground I managed to bring the structural logic of colorfield painting. Colorfield painting is centered around the color contrasts with colors that oscillate around identical or near identical tonal values. Black and white photos of Rothko's paintings or the paintings made using the principles of colorfield painting are almost uniformly grey, although they are comprised of different colors. When I managed to bring this logic into my figural compositions, two things became clear: for starters, many details that were present in my older work fall off. The reason for this is the second thing: there is namely only a small selection of colors with which this type of painting is possible. The selection therefore narrows the palette, thus making it more controllable. On the other side this causes that details become almost invisible and therefore irrelevant as there is near tonal uniformity. The French composer Gerard Grisey composed music that is conceptually and morphologically parallel to Rothko's work. His 'spectral music' oscillates around pitches that are very close to each-other. Hence the title of my work from 2022.

Mobile ph.: +386 41 652158 ----------------- Email: bostjan.jurecic@rtvslo.si ------------- Painter, art theorist, journalist born 1969 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. This is all of my art production so far displayed in no chronological order. I try to maintain strict quality control so I destroy more then I preserve. There are also several video clips about my work available on my YouTube channel. I was the worst student Ljubljana's Academy of Fine Arts could ever have. I barely passed the last year with the lowest grades. After finishing studies I wanted to drop art altogether. I got a job at the national TV of Slovenia where I still work as a journalist covering visual arts, architecture, comics, classical and contemporary music etc. After the millennium I started painting again. At first under strong influence of Basquiat, whose show I saw in Trieste at the end of the nineties. Actually it was Basquiat's show that pushed me back again into producing art. After 2003 I wanted to get rid of Basquiat's influence. So, one time I carried this one piece that had again been done in his style under water, while it was still wet. Water partially washed the image away. There was a silent scream in my head: "Look how the image dissolves." Washing the images away with water became my dominant painting technique. There were a couple of series of paintings made between 2004 and 2006 using this technique in a variety of ways. Between the beginning of 2007 and the beginning of 2010 there was a pause though. I was trying to expand on this idea and technique but wasn't successful. I realized later that I was trying too hard to show my invention as such. In early 2010 I came up with the necessary evolution. Since then, my work procedure can be described as follows: I make an image with paint. I then wait a couple of minutes till some of it has dried. I then wash the image away with water. Patches of paint remain, of course. I then repeat this procedure with another paint until something gets formed out of patches. Why is all of this important? This procedure of mine gets me beyond simple illustrating. It makes the onlooker feel as if the images got on the canvas all by themselves. At work with TV Slovenia I have been since 2012 engaged in writing a widely read and commented column on contemporary art. I am also active in the field of art theory. I developed an original theory of and on the parallels between visual art and music.
