ANOMAL AND WAITING FOR FATHER

The works of the academy-trained painter Marko Jakše are characterized by a rich world of figures and motifs. His paintings feature archetypes and sublime expressions of his subjective experience of his inner word and external reality, which, through extraordinary metaphors of the sediments of European civilization, create images that the artist draws from elements of the cultural unconscious. He designs his characteristic images almost as architectural formations that, through refined sculptural features and colour design, guide viewers into a fantasy world, and he uses the distinctive elements of mass culture to offer them the opportunity to themselves become interpreters of a created reality and the creative process itself.
