Jaan Elken
(1957)
Red Circle. 1987-1995
Oil, canvas. 97 x 100 cm (framed)
price 5 800
To see the artwork, please contact Haus Gallery
Some of Jaan Elken’s paintings have been completed over the decades, and the artist has at times taken the liberty of treating earlier paintings as ready-made, merely as a starting material for new paintings. The period from 1987 to 1995 holds dramatic global political changes, to which the artist with a social nerve is hypersensitive. There is a lot of hinting in this painting, probably some architectural details that an architect-educated artist notices, a certain ignorance of the unknown, and complex surface details. The central image, the red circle – is it the control and protective meaning of the red colour as it is known in folk art and some magical beliefs?
