Jana Zanoskar (1963) - Covid

Anno 2010 Mixed technique: acrylic on canvas Stretched on a frame Signed Jana Zanoskar Critique & Exhibitions CRITIC NOTE - BIOGRAPHY In the registry Miriana Zanoskar, known as Jana Zanoskar. Graduated in 1963 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana with a five-year program and a final thesis titled "Color in Art, Optics, Chemistry and Physics." Upon arriving in Italy I exhibited at Galleria 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. 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 first and foremost 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 to exhibit also abroad and throughout the year in his gallery. THE SUBJECTS vary with the ideas of the moment; I have always been surrealist, and naturally also an abstract artist with some whim or reference to reality, as dreamlike allusions. In recent years I returned to realism painting tattooed nudes, and with the large canvases I approached the climatic situation on Earth, as in "The Lost World" and the unknown world of our soul, as in the painting "The Doors of Time". The TECHNIQUES I have used over the years are the most varied. I began with oil paintings, then continued with acrylics, incorporating salvage materials into the painting: old clocks, wood aged by time, glazed paints, ropes, nails and string.

"Jana Zanoskar, painter of mysterious moments, uses with wisdom forms, signs and colors to transfigure the real in a lyrically objective key. In her abstract pursuits, the artist shows an inquisitive consciousness, expressed in entirely new expressive formulas. Thus she asserts the sense of form as pure vitality, bearing witness to the abstract sound of color, and the rhythm of the 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. She lives and works in Podenzana, Lunigiana. Magical painting, between abstraction and surrealism. Klee treasured Jugendstil, the French Art Nouveau. And Zanoskar also feels the reflections of Floral and Art Nouveau, but aligns them with the spark of her imagination, with the sense of the fantastical, which guides all her search in a kaleidoscope of floating forms and colors that change with the angles. In the whirlwind of twentieth-century isms, in the Ligurian-Tuscan painting panorama of research, Jana Zanoskar’s activity manages to fascinate the viewer, not least for the restlessness never detached from a vital core of poetry. She is recognizable, always distinguishable, precisely for this capacity for magical evocations. She lives and works in Lunigiana. R. Bertoli The artist, of Slovenian origin, places herself between oriental Symbolism, of aniconic nature, and Western iconoclasm, whose synthesis is fatal because it incises in a transfigurative key on images that become abstract, exactly as in the best known twentieth-century European artistic trends. Her works thus release a Central European area that makes them appealing to a cultured, sensitive audience acquainted with modernist concerns. The pronounced predisposition for abstract and geometric shapes surely derives from a stylized taste, giving life to Abstraction and the great painting of Wassily Kandinsky, who 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 provenance, and the fullness of color pastes, continually reinvented, betray a sure mastery of expressive means, able to render plasticity and volume, prerogatives of our Classicism (one should not ignore that the painter has lived for a long time near the land of Michelangelo’s marbles). And it is not to overcomplicate any rational 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 seemingly at random according to geometric, irregular scores, all with a phytomorphic character... swirls, spirals, irregular lanes and wavy lines, unsuspected angles... a “monstrous” creature shows its teeth... but it is only a marble striker!!! Bold painting passages and daring plastic scans, those of Jana, but always graduated from full and bright tones to indicate a coral nature, an underwater seafloor or a lush, flowering lawn. The title of each Work, repetitive and insistently tied to the idea of the “unusual,” makes explicit reference to Kandinsky’s “Untitled,” but what matters most is the courage to venture into this fantastical universe of creatures of the sea, sky and earth. Triangles, Panels, Knots, Chess, Squares, Draperies, Shells (or curls of capricious rocailles?) and everything that can reasonably be inferred from reading these "paintings" now also "sculpture" 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 exhibiting at the Civic Gallery of Modern Art in Ljubljana, earning a permanent exhibition 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 events and competitions. I also began teaching Art Disciplines at the State Middle Schools, after the change of the title obtained in Ljubljana, and concurrently I pursued Ceramic Art with specialized courses. Among those years are the large ceramic decorative panels, commissions for facades of numerous public and private buildings. 1975 Galleria 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 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 Carnevale di Viareggio (Lucca) 2003 Town Hall - Council Chamber, Bolsena (Viterbo) Since 1999, rediscovered by professionals in the field, in particular Giulia Sillato, Art Historian of Scuola Longhiana, I have practiced my exhibition activity among Italy’s most prestigious Historic Homes and nationally renowned Art Galleries that requested my Works to present them at important Auction Houses. 1999 Rocca di Giovanni Della Rovere, Senigallia (Ancona) 1999 Palazzo Ducale (Ground floor of the apartment of Guglielmo Gonzaga), Mantua 1999 Spanish Fortress, 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 Ancient Castle at Sea, Rapallo (Genoa) 2001 Four famous "Castelli Romani" in Contemporanea: Villa Aldobrandini, Frascati (Rome) Villa Tuscolana, Frascati (Rome) Villa Falconieri, Frascati (Rome) Ancient Granary of Borghese, Artena (Rome) 2002 Palazzo Pallavicini Rospigliosi at the Quirinal (Rome) 2002 Crypt of the Basilica of Santa Croce (Florence) 2002 Casina Pompeiana at Riva di Chiaia (Naples)
