About The Artwork

AUTHORS PHOTO : LSZ PHOTOGRAPHY CANVAS PAINTINGS : Sarah I. Avni FACE PAINTINGS : Andrea Ľubocká ETHNOLOGICAL SUPERVISION : Bc. Katarína Chabrečeková MODEL : Simona Leskovská - model IMAGE TECHNOLOGY : mix of photography and acrylic painting on canvas ABOUT PROJECT “parta” (sg) / “party” (pl): is a type of a fancy headband, the symbol of adult unmarried girls. Being the most important and beautiful component of the wedding costume in the 19th and 20th century, it has always been richly decorated and it was unique in every region of Slovakia . "Parta" become a central element of a unique art project, which aims to revive. Slovak treasures, which are slowly being forgotten. The project goes through numerous artistic spectrums and maps the variety and diversity of almost every extinct “party" and wreaths from all original regions of Slovakia. The artistic duo Ľubomír Sabo & Zuzana Sénášiová in accordance with traditions and ways of ancestors took pictures of only young, single and childless girls. A mean of modern expression is an artistic way of face paintings based on traditional ornaments, and folk costumes to which a specific "parta" belonged. On the pictures we can see beautiful Slovak actresses, singers, presenters, models and businesswomen. The reference of a historical photograph mingles with the current embodiment of art photography, where models put themselves into the feelings of the brides and express them how it used to be back in the past. On the photographs you can watch humbleness and seriousness of the moment which is completed by a modern vision of the photographers. Sources for the preparation of compositions were contemporary sources, which described the seriousness of exceptional moments. Photographs are filled with sense of symbolism and respect for Slovak traditions, while delivering a wide range of emotions and artistic representation that is looking at history through the lens of the modern world, close to the current young generation. Artistically shot photographs are finished by hand-painted ornaments on the face. These photographs are printed on canvas and the painter Sarah I. Avni outstandingly completed the final version of them. With the use of acrylic paintings, the artist created a background of an each photograph that comes from the folk elements of each “parta” from certain villages and regions in Slovakia. The result is a series of an eye-catching paintings that represent abundance and diverse character of Slovak folk heritage. Ideological stratification of the project and attention to every detail show that “Party” in the 21st century project represent a strong artistic and historical legacy. During almost three years of intense and dedicated work, more than hundred people got involved in the project. Very important was a team of ethnologists with their leader Katarína Chabrečeková, who oversaw the use of exactness of “party” and festive wreaths. Thanks to their relevant expertise, they were able to contribute to the reconstruction of four no longer existing “party”. The uniqueness of the project is equally emphasized by originally composed music that combines original, folk music with elements of the current/modern contemporary genres. Limited edition of paintings are produced by mixed technology - artistic photography with acrylic paintings on canvas. Each painting from this limited edition has the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and will be made only in three dimensions: 60x90cm,80x120cmand120x180cm. ABOUT THIS "PARTA" “Parta” in Hriňová and Detva was worn only to church and engagement ceremonials; only brides wore it. If the bride was very poor and did not have “parta”, she wore only a chiffon scarf. K.A.Medvecký, in his work Detva in 1906, firstly mentioned the “parta” from this region as a part of his monography. “Parta” was worn for the last time in 1940. After the Second World War, “parta” was worn very rarely because it was replaced by the trend from the 50ties: a veil and white dress. In Hriňová, there are still 6 pieces of “parta” preserved, the one for this photoshoot comes from the 80ties. This “parta” consists of a strip of a cardboard, thicker wire, garlands of flowers (wax or cloth), bi-colored ribbons with the length up to the knees and small ornaments such as: beads, “limbačky” (sequins), “pukličky” (glass at beads) and “trasalá” (bristles decorated with beads). The owner of this “parta” is Mrs. Šuleková.
