Ivan Exner (1960) STILL LIFE WITH NEWSPAPERS, ORANGES AND FISH

Ivan Exner was born in Pardubice and devoted himself to painting, typography and graphics. We can consider the still life as the main theme of his painting work, where both the creative imagination and the craft component of painting are connected, when the picture is executed with absolute precision, a lot of glazes, a perfectly thought-out composition, format and frame. "I move forward by looking back." Drawing from the techniques of the old masters thus represents a logical response to a contemporary artistic trend, often freed from the descriptive component.
