About The Artwork

Please email to arrange for custom size and inquires "Contemporary fossils" is an artistic work, stylisation on a plastic bottle, intentionally deformed to create a strange, contemporary, neoclassical form of our era, a little later "the fossil of our civilization". This product of creation is included in a dialogue with the urban , architectural and natural space. The desire for abstraction finds inspiration on the inorganic, abstract, and usefulness of the lifeless object. This strange monumental form plays ironically with the sizes and materials. Beyond the social engagement for a call to recycling, civic accountability, Contemporary fossils remains something intimate in everybody's imagination. It's an act of empathy. The Contemporary Fossil Concept was born over a reflection on the infinite mass of plastic bottles that systematically occupy our individual, public, global, physical, verbal, and time space. In this reflection and autodidactic research on the matter, there is the reversal of the classical lines of the past, their sensuality, the beauty of the human body, the painful contractions of Laocont beaten by the snakes of goddesses. Can there be an analogy in the present? if so, what would it be? It would be the commercialization of our daily lives, the marble replaced by plastic, the classic romantic background replaced by metropolitan traffic, the anger of the gods replaced by the threat of the risks that come from the human being's relationship with his product. Contemporary Fossils, provokes everybody's imagination and it is a call for reflection.

“My painting is an emotional load that pours over canvas. It is a shiver frozen in time. It is my life, charged with meaning and misunderstanding, my unconscious that astonishes me with its instinct. It is my penance, and the string that ties my heaven and hell. It is love, which not everyone can see.” Jon Kraja is born in Tirana in 1970, where he graduated from the Arts Accademy of Tirana in 1994. Artist, creative director and set designer, he produces powerful and surprising artworks preoccupied by the unknown and the mystery of lifeless objects. Jon Kraja has exhibited in Albania, France, Netherlands, USA. His works are part of private collections in Switzerland, USA, France, Germany. #jonkraja #painting #installation #photography #setdesign He travels between Zürich and his homeland Albania
