Profile

Michal Černušák

Michal Černušák (Baz. He has been a finalist and holds many important artistic awards (2005, finalist Essl Award CEE, 2007, Special Prize Essl Award CEE, 2009, finalist VÚB Maľba, 2010, finalist Strabag Art Award SK). He presented his work at many group exhibitions in Slovakia, Czech Republic and abroad. It is represented in private and public collections in Central and Western Europe.

The "Elevation" image depicts pale blue air vortex, in which toys hover toys in an arranged ascending spiral, we do not know fragments and figures. But it does not seem to be apocalyptic and destructive vortex. Everything is more joyful and with ease to the higher spheres of an unknown environment and space. Levitating fragments may not be only the remains of the old structure, but also the basis for something new and climbing to higher spheres is possible to promote a more important level, condition or position.

About the work

Michal Černušák for 100pcs

In my work, I reflect the global society and social phenomena related to it. And how it affects our realities, our local society and the state in general. And sometimes I use various elements such as toys. These become surrogate elements to express what they symbolize and what content they carry. So I always choose them specifically on the topic of the image.

The image is called Elevation and takes place on thin ice on the border of whether it is a disaster where everything swirls in a whirlwind - all the elements displayed fall deep. Or, if there is some "promotion", when the vortex is heading up into the heavens and the elements are torn into space. Or, if it is a situation where the astronaut gives goodbye to all things he owns, but does not really need them.
