The images of "Picnic at a Sideway" are set in an undefined spatial dimension.
An enraged troll can't take a view of a brutally strong man with a lustful
woman. The troll has cut off his own genitals, as an atavistic brain's
response to his arousal with this non-logical action.
A blue color of this work gives a melancholic overtone to the theme of
Epicurean pleasure. The color of heated aquamarine does not cause a cold
effect together with the amethyst casts, but creates a feeling of heated air
that melts passion and blends objects into the environment. The work's title
focuses on a festive mood. "Picnic..." bridges with a remote work such as
"the peasant Dance" by Pieter Brueghel, which depicts dancing, drinking,
kissing, and pissing peasants. In "Picnic," the image of the grim troll is
akin of the Brueghel's peasants with distorted complexion, with their heads
buried in their hats, creatures of the own instincts and base desires.
Separated by centuries, both artists might have been of two minds about their
subject, that could have been the ideas of shared humanity, sinnery, and joys
that tied people together.
The art of Jaisini brings line and form, color and composition, concept and
style into a tense and engaging balance. That complex principle proposes a
reinvention of figuration which is not figural, but is itself a fabric of an
abstraction.
The current return of artists to painting can only be successful with their
ability to work in the media of painting. Paul Jaisini's paintings from "Das
Ich und Das Es" series demonstrate the artist's inspirational ability to
create in his media with a rear mastery in contemporary art.
"The aim of my work has always been to arouse in my audience a visual
experience followed by understanding, followed by feelings. The priority of
impression can vary; it's a never-ending Game."
