Martin Kizur

Grafike 1979 do 1985

Malo po strani od (po)modnih trendova i izama, koji lako zazive medu mladim likovnim stvaraocima, Martin Kizur prihvata izazov vremena onoliko koliko u njemu nalazi podsticaje za nadgradnju sopstvene umetničke istine. Više okrenut iskustvu prošlosti, očito fasciniran dometima sintetičkog kubizma, ovaj autor u svojim grafikama i kolažima, dovodeći u kompleksan odnos boju i apstraktni oblik, zapravo traga za preporodom poznatih likovnih sredstava. Pripremajući ovu izložbu metodično i prilježno, za vreme postdiplomskih studija, Kizur pronalazi bogatstvo u jednostavnim oblicima i brojnim mogućnostima za njihovo komponovanje. Poštujući velike uzore i nalazeci duhovnu srodnost sa njima, on ostvaruje vlastitu viziju u kolažu, koji mu, na taj način, služi kao dobro pripremljena skica za grafiku.

Kolaž, medij našeg stoleća, prihvatio je Kizur u njegovom izvornom obliku – postupak geometrijskog građenja forme proširen slobodnom igrom apstraktnih oblika, sa uspehom izbegavajući pri tom zamku skliznuća u proizvoljnost i šablon. Za kolaž koristi elemente tipične za tu tehniku – isečke iz novina, tipografske znake i druge materijale. Pokatkad, ovu vizuelnu sliku povezuje crtežom, kojim unosi čar svežine i spontanosti u ovaj inače miran zapis. Ovako komponovani, prostudirani u svakom detalju, gde ni jedan likovni momenat ne dovodi u pitanje preglednost celine, njegovi kolaži zrače harmoničnim odnosom bojenih površina po kojima su razasuti linearni tokovi i drugi tragovi. U poetskom svetu malih prostora naznačenih u kolažu autor osluškuje složena stanja duha.

Mada su kolaži malih dimenzija, poput radnih skica, kada ih transponuje u grafički medij, Kizur uvećava predložak ispunjavajući standardni format grafičkog papira. Pri tom bitno ne menja vizuelnu i sadržajnu celinu kompozicije. Višebojna grafika je ono čemu ovaj autor posvećuje najviše pažnje. Strpljiv analitičar, posle dugotrajne studije i priprema, realizuje grafiku kombinujući različite tehnike i nekoliko ploča. Medusobnim uskladivanjem naslaganih planova i svođenjem podataka na bitno, Kizur izoštrava čist odnos boje i forme. Klasična sredstva – akvatinta, linogravura, litografija – pojavljuju se kombinovano na istoj grafici ispunjavajući određene zahteve autora u okvirima svojih specifičnosti. Boja tretirana u kontekstu medija postaje dominantna u svom čistom zvuku, a njenim međusobnim preklapanjem dovodi do polifonijskog kreščenda. Krajnji rezultat ovako koncipiranih grafika je idejna pročišćenost i homogena struktura.

Zatvoren sistem, red i tišina svog sveta Martin Kizur hrani idejama koje imaju logičan kontinuitet u okviru postavljenog koncepta.

Printmaking 1979 to 1985

Stepping a little aside from current fashion(able) trends and isms, Martin Kizur accepts the challenge of the time so long as long as it invites him to enhance his own artistic truth. Turning more to experience of the past, evidently fascinated by the achievements of synthetic cubism, the author in his prints and collages achieves a complex relationship of colour and abstract form, actually seeking to revive the famous art techniques. In preparing this exhibition methodically and diligently, during postgraduate studies, Kizur has discovered the treasures of simple forms and many possibilities for their composition. Respecting the great masters and finding spiritual kinship with them, he creates his own vision in collage, which in turn serves as a well-prepared sketch for printmaking.

Kizur has accepted collage, the medium of this century, in its original form - a method of geometric construction expanded with free abstract play, successfully avoiding the fall into the trap of arbitrary patterns and clichés. For collage he uses elements typical of this technique - newspaper clippings, typographic symbols and other materials. Sometimes, this visual image is combined with a drawing, which brings the charm of freshness and spontaneity in an otherwise calm scene. Thus composed, thought through in every detail, where not a single artistic moment calls into question the arrangement of the whole, his collages emanate a relationship of harmony between the coloured surfaces on which are scattered linear flows and other traces. In this poetic world of small spaces created in collage the author explores a complex state of mind.

Although the collages are small working sketches, when transposed into the print medium Kizur enlarges the sketch to fit standard format graphic paper. During this process, there is minimal change to the visual content and the whole composition. Multi-colour graphic printing is where the author devotes the most attention. Being a patient analyst, after long study and preparation, he makes graphic prints combining different techniques and using several plates. Through mutual harmonisation of the layers of planes and reducing information to details most important, Kizur sharpens a pure relationship of colour and form. Classic techniques aquatint, linocut and lithography - are seen combined on the same artworks fulfilling requirements of the author by their specific characteristics. Colour treated in the context of the media becomes dominant in its pure sound, and its mutual overlapping leads to polyphonic crescendo. The end result is thus conceived as graphics with purity of ideas and homogeneous structure.

Into closed systems, worlds of order and tranquility, Martin Kizur feeds ideas that have a logical continuity within the boundaries of established concepts.
