Jana Zanoskar (1963) - Fiori Insoliti

Anno 2010 Mixed technique: acrylic on canvas Shipped with frame Signed Jana Zanoskar Critica & Exhibitions CRITICAL NOTE - BIOGRAPHY In the civil registry Miriana Zanoskar, artist name Jana Zanoskar. Graduated in 1963 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, with a five-year program and the final thesis titled "Color in Art, Optics, Chemistry and Physics." Upon arriving in Italy, I exhibited at Gallery 14 in Florence, earning 2 gold medals. In the following years I participated in group exhibitions in various places in Lunigiana; art in Tuscany at that time was lively and of public interest. For many years I spent following Giulia Silato, exhibiting in historic palaces all over Italy. The exhibitions were well organized in historically important and artistically notable places but, above all, without a future. At the twenty-fifth jubilee I exhibited together with my colleagues in Ljubljana, Kranj, and later also in Rome. With Stefano Sichel I found an artistic agreement, the possibility of exhibiting abroad and year-round in his gallery. THE SUBJECTS vary with the ideas of the moment; I have always been a surrealist, and naturally also an abstract artist with some whim or reference to reality, like dreamlike recalls. In recent years I returned to realism, painting tattooed nudes, and with the large canvases I approached the climatic situation on Earth, such as "The Lost World" and the unknown world of our soul, as for example in the painting "The Doors of Time". The TECHNIQUES I have used over the years are the most varied. I started with oil paintings, then continued with acrylic, using salvaged materials to incorporate into the painting: old clocks, woods aged by time, vitrified varnishes, ropes, nails and string.

"Jana Zanoskar, a painter of mysterious moments of time, uses forms, signs and colors with wisdom to transfigure the real in a lyrically objective key. In her abstract research, the artist shows a probing consciousness, expressed in entirely new expressive formulas. She asserts the sense of form as pure vitality, witnessing the abstract sound of color, and the rhythm of volumes, weaving a loving dialogue with the chromatic matter." Paolo Levi She was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, a city linked to the myth of Jason and the Argonauts, but for many years transplanted to Italy. Lives and works in Podenzana, Lunigiana. Magical painting, between abstraction and surrealism. Klee treasured Jungendstil, the French Art Nouveau. And Zanoskar also senses the reflections of Floral and Liberty styles, but tunes them to the spark of her fantasy, to the sense of the fantastic that guides all her research in a kaleidoscope of floating forms and colors that change according to angles. In the vortex of twentieth-century “isms,” in the landscape of Ligurian-Tuscan searching painting, Jana Zanoskar’s activity manages to fascinate the viewer, not least for the restlessness never divorced from a vital core of poetry. It is recognizable, always distinguishable, precisely for this capacity for magical evocations. Lives and works in Lunigiana. R. Bertoli The artist, of Slovenian origin, places herself between Eastern Symbolism, of aniconic nature, and Western incontinence, whose synthesis is fatal because it transfigures images into abstraction, exactly as in the best known artistic trends of European twentieth century. Her works thus release a Central European area that makes them appealing to a cultured, sensitive audience knowledgeable about modernist concerns. The pronounced predisposition for abstract and geometric forms undoubtedly derives from a stylized taste, giving rise to Abstract art and Kandinsky’s great painting, which clearly influences her. In Jana’s case it is also true that the material richness, produced by integrating painting with materials of various nature and origin, and the fullness of color pastes, continually reinvented, betray a sure mastery of expressive means, able to render plasticity and volumetry, prerogatives of our Classicism (it should not be ignored that the painter has lived for a long time near the Michelangelesque marble lands). And one should not strain too much trying to force a rationalistic reading. It is evident that the themes are drawn from a continuous and uninterrupted source that flows with inexhaustible energy... Fantasy, here particularly unleashed. Driven by that ineffable mystery that is Creativity. It pours onto these canvases a flood of bright colors that distribute apparently randomly according to geometrically irregular partitions—all with a phytomorphic character... swirls, spirals, irregular lanes and undulating curves, unsuspected angles... a monstrous creature shows its teeth... but it is only a pinball machine!!! Painterly passages and bold plastic scans, those of Jana, but always graduated from full and bright tones to indicate a coral-like nature, an underwater seabed or a flowering green carpet. The title of each Work, repetitive and insistent on the notion of the “unusual,” clearly references Kandinsky’s “Untitled,” but what matters most is the courage to venture into this fantastical universe of sea creatures, sky and earth. Triangles, Panelling, Knots, Chess, Squares, Draperies, Shells (or curls of capricious rocailles?) and all that can reasonably be inferred from reading these “paintings” now also “sculptures” introduce us to a Mystical Cosmogony, which only the Third Eye of the Spirit can illuminate. Giulia Sillato In 1963 I graduated from the Ljubljana Academy (Slovenia, ex-Yugoslavia) In 1965 I began to exhibit at the Civica Gallery of Modern Art in Ljubljana, earning a permanent display at the City Museum. In the 1970s I moved to Italy where the Municipality of Florence awarded me prizes and recognitions in a series of art appointments and competitions. I also began teaching Artistic Disciplines at State Middle Schools, after converting the titularity obtained in Ljubljana, and concurrently I cultivated Ceramic Art with specialized courses. Among those years are the large ceramic decorative panels, works on commission for the facades of numerous public and private buildings. 1975 Gallery 14, Florence 1975 Church of Santa Maria della Quercia - Cloister, Aulla (Massa Carrara) 1976 Town Hall - Council Chamber, Aulla (Massa Carrara) 1979 Arte Fiera, Carrara 1980 Tour of France with a stop in Paris 1996 International Gallery, Viareggio (Lucca) 1996 Town Hall (Massa Carrara) - Council Chamber, Aulla 1997 Town Hall - Council Chamber, Pontremoli (Massa Carrara) 1997 Mercadante Gallery, Costa Smeralda (Sassari) 1997 Town Hall - Council Chamber, Sarzana (La Spezia) 1998 Gallery "Il Navicello": Torre del Lago Puccini (Lucca) 1998 International Gallery, Viareggio (Lucca) 1998 Hippodrome, Montecatini Terme (Pistoia) 1998 Town Hall - Cloister of TAU, Altopascio Lucca) 1999 Mercadante Gallery, Costa Smeralda (Sassari) 2000 Tourist Promotion Company, Massa 2000 Hotel Principe, Venice 2000 Town Hall - Council Chamber, Montecatini Terme (Pistoia) 2000 International Gallery, Viareggio (Lucca) 2001 Gallery del Torchio, Rome 2001 Studio d'Arte, Venice 2001 Studio d'Arte, Bassano del Grappa (Vicenza) 2001 Tourist Promotion Company, Massa 2001 Small Gallery, Kranj (Slovenia) 2001 Town Hall - Cloister of TAU, Altopascio (Lucca) 2001 Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo, Republic of San Marino 2001 Town Hall - Council Chamber, Marina di Massa 2002 Tourist Promotion Company, Massa 2002 Town Hall - Council Chamber, Bolsena (Viterbo) 2002 Mercadante Gallery, Levanto (La Spezia) 2003 Viareggio Carnival (Lucca) 2003 Town Hall - Council Chamber, Bolsena (Viterbo) Since 1999, rediscovered by professionals in the field, in particular Giulia Sillato, Art Historian of Lunigiana School, I have exercised my exhibition activity among the most prestigious Historic Homes of Italy and National-level Art Galleries that have requested my Works to present them at major Auction Houses. 1999 Rocca di Giovanni Della Rovere, Senigallia (Ancona) 1999 Palazzo Ducale (Pianoterra dell'Appartamento di Guglielmo Gonzaga), Mantua 1999 Fortezza Spagnola, L'Aquila 1999 Villa Carlotti, Caprino Veronese (Verona) 2000 Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo, Ascoli Piceno 2000 Rocca di Caterina Sforza, Forlì 2000 Palazzo dei Priori, Assisi Perugia) 2000 Abbey of San Nilo, Grottaferrata (Rome) 2001 Antique Castle by the Sea, Rapallo (Genoa) 2001 Four famous "Castelli Romani" in Contemporanea: Villa Aldobrandini, Frascati (Rome) Villa Tuscolana, Frascati (Rome) Villa Falconieri, Frascati (Rome) Ancient Granary Borgese, Artena (Rome) 2002 Palazzo Pallavicini Rospiglioso at the Quirinale (Rome) 2002 Crypt of the Basilica of Santa Croce (Florence) 2002 Casina Pompeiana in Riva di Chiaia (Naples)
