His work is regularly recognized in prestigious competitions focused on contemporary painting.

Profile

Ján Vasilko

Ján Vasilko (nar. 1979) absolvoval v l. 1999 - 2005 na Fakultě umění Technické university v Košicích (v ateliéru doc. Adama Szentpéteryho a prof. Rudolfa Sikoru).

Jánova umělecká tvorba je nepřehlédnutelným příkladem legendárního východoslovenského "drajvu", který je životaschopný a úspěšný kdekoli na světě. Od počátků rozvíjí originální podobu geometrického malířského jazyka, který za léta prošel zajímavými proměnami. Všechny dosavadní fáze propojuje neúnavná variabilita ve formě i barevnosti a nekonečně trpělivá píle při realizaci děl.

Ján Vasilko má za sebou desítky sólových a skupinových výstav v SR i v zahraničí, je laureátem uměleckých cen (např. Cena Oskára Čepana, vítěz Strabag Artaward International), zastoupen v soukromých i veřejných sbírkách.

About the work

Ján Vasilko for 100 pcs

Ján Vasilko belongs to a distinctive generation of painters who entered the Slovak art scene in the first decade of the 21st century. In his work, he employs the aesthetics of technical documentation, the principles of visual communication, and the possibilities of digital and graphic tools.

The artist consciously moves on a detached, "pre-set" plane of prefabricated forms and shapes. These elements allow him to create a model world of associations without sliding into pathos or expressive exaltation. This chosen approach acts as an emotional filter—emotions remain hidden behind a cultivated and seemingly rational visual language, which Vasilko nonetheless handles with intentional unconventionality and a subtle measure of tension.
