POINT OF VIEW [19.7" x 27.5"] Print

All Jemal's realistic paintings are painted using the technique of the old masters, who used several layers of oil and glaze. Glazing is a successive application of transparent layer of paint over another dried layer of paint. When glazing in oils artist applies multiple layers and each layer affects the final oil painting and gives the picture the effect of transparency. The task of this method of work is to obtain complex shades of colour by optical mixing of "pure" colours, superimposed one on top of the other. Jemal likes to paint simple still lifes and applies minimalism style, which developed in the late 1950s as a rejection of the abstract expressionism, to his realistic paintings. The artist calls it - "Minimalism in Realism" "All I want anyone to get out of my [works] and all I ever get out of them is the fact that you can see the whole idea without any confusion. What you see is what you see." –Frank Stella, 1964, American artist. At the same time, objects in the artist’s still lifes carry a symbolic message, with which J.Gugunava seeks to convey the meaning of the narrative. In this still life, the artist shows his view on events taking place around him and his relationship to art in general. He discusses whether traditional painting is needed by people now and whether it still alive. Does the artist turn away from the viewer leaving behind only an insignificant point as a little track?
