About the work

Vladimir Kokolia for 100pcs

Although Kokolio's work is gaining a number of visual positions, probably the most characteristic for him are organic and geometric structures, which are often based on the motives of everyday life and nature. Their essence is to go to the core of the matter, leave situations and objects to show their essence on the canvas. The author then primarily tries to not stand in the way. We don't look at the paintings, we are seen by them. Kokolius's work is also often a criticism of anthropocentrism, building (sweaty, rushing and somewhat unobstructed) of man on the pedestal. His paintings show our place in a much more intricitable fact, which we then, as one of its many parts, must be perceived with greater humility and perhaps even awareness. It forces us to look in depth, let the reality emerge from it - this applies to Kolius canvas even in formal terms, its paintings often have hundreds of layers of brush strokes


The image selected for the 100pcs platform is called Vltava, and it really speaks for itself. The waves of the Vltava are fine and wild, they can heal and destroy. The waves of this Queen of the rivers in Kolio's submission seemed to connect us with everything that was, is and will be. With everything we are and what we can be. At the same time, the bends in the image are based on the principles of movement in Taiji, the energy "ace". This is also reflected in the Vltava, on which the reflections of trees and facades in various layers and directions are rippled.
