Variations

Text by Noel Cramer from:
"The Art of Ludek Pesek"

The twelve paintings in this section show the use of similar motifs in different contexts. The same "trompe I'oeil" frames of the first two paintings. The identical walls of a mountain pasture serving in the second work as the forlorn surroundings of a frightened and abandoned teddy bear. Or a beautiful country landscape that takes on a sinister aspect with the addition of a knotted cord and bizarre amulet. We may also mention the "saintly" figure growing out of a tree trunk and whose figure, in the second painting, seems to express anxiety as his temple, or church, is dismantled and swallowed up by the cosmos.

Barbed wire with "comets"	The nest
A wall	Abandoned !
Bulcolic country lane	Think twice !
The wooden saint	The vanity of sanctitude
Floating object	Damaged by landscape
Offering of life	Instellar message
