Werner Horvath: "Mick Jagger" - Portrait of the frontman of the Rolling Stones. Oil on canvas, 70 x 100 cm, 2016.
Our time is terrified by problems like AIDS, drug-abuse and pollution. Our presence is dominated by mass-media and a prospering entertainment-industry. And it seems, that Neill Postman's words are true, who believed, that we "amuse ourselves to death". The New Constructivist Werner Horvath has depicted it in his images.
"Many of the painting masters anthropomorphized the background landscape of their human subjects. For example, the imaginary landscape behind the Mona-Lisa is considered by a reflection of the lady`s inner self. The impressionist painters emphasized the general impressions of the character and the landscape on account of the accurate description. In this style it is much easier to unite between the subject and the background and describe in prominence the human essence, both physical and spiritual. Modern New Constructivism artists decomposed the views they painted into elemtary visual components. It makes it possible to describe the living and the inanimate by the same molecular tools."
