The Old City of Ozalj Painting

Considered as the western Master of the New Ink Art Movement, a pioneering force in the New Ink movement (Aesthetica Magazine No. 90 /York, UK/). His contributions to this movement are well recorded and have helped promote a once-isolated style exclusively practiced in the far east, to western culture. Krupa is best known for his “modern ink paintings” of unruly compositions that feature a diverse array of subjects spanning nudes, landscapes, and motifs inspired by Japanese wood-carvers (Hypeblast Art). Lui Shou-kwan /(1919-1975), credited with founding the New Ink Painting Movement/ and his followers (up to the present times) reinterprets Chinese ink art in the form of Western modernism. Krupa is doing something essentially opposite/different from Shou-kwan and his group, he reinterprets Western modernism in the form of Chinese ink art (District Artisan /Miami, USA/).
