An impressive, realistic expression based, firmly gripped by Jan Gemrot's paintings, one of the main representatives of contemporary Central European painting, asks supporting questions about today's world. They connect personal visions of the origin and demise of human culture, the beginning and end of nature, ancient art and the latest techniques. The originally rendered cosmological process involves the fate of contemporary man as a fragile and passing individual, which is incorporated in an environment that is familiar to him and stolen at the same time. The perfect technical design of the supporting, long -term topics of the author, interferes with the viewer by becoming part of the image as if it merged with the depicted person. Jan Gemrot looks on planet Earth from the distance of many space years, and penetrates under the surface of the faces shown to reveal their hidden desires and impossible wishes.

Jan Gemrot for 100pcs

"The whole cycle of exploding sculptures originally originated on the basis of an event, when during the First World War, artillery grenades hit the museum with the outlogs of the sculptures of Antonio Canovy. I was fascinated by the moment of the demise of the work of art. I visually came out of it.

I began to paint it in 2019, when our world began to change dramatically. We live at the turn of the turn and these ancient sculptures in the explosion are a symbol of the new order for me. Something old is transformed, maybe it disappears - and all of this is born something new that we do not know yet. ”
