Josip Lizatovic

Perpetual Resonance

Josip, a painter of clear compositions and coloured structures, presents an art form that combines finely shaded reductions of motifs and colours with an authentic observation of subjects. In his paintings, he creates uncompromising analytical portraits, transforming subjects into organized harmonies connected by lines or surfaces. While occasionally touching the abstract, Josip remains a unique figurative artist, using powerful expressions reminiscent of informal and abstract expressionism. His dynamic decomposition of figures results in a free and distinctive form of art, where figurative motifs serve as landmarks. Josip's paintings, though not purely abstract, detach painted objects from the inertia of finished things, allowing chromatically diffused movements and layers of colour to merge into light and viscosity. Witness the pleasure of observing the intricate permeation of azure and thicker paste as colours soften forms until they disperse into unrecognizable beauty.
