Andrej Konopek: Quelle / Fountain

Andrej Konopek: Quelle / Fountain

"The myth of the source of existence has its roots in the past, and together with the preservation, use and enjoyment of water, it is a symbol of life. Many works depict this idea throughout art history, where springs and fountains have been popular religious and secular themes.

 

Therefore, it is not surprising that the young artist Andrej Konopek became very interested in studying the symbolic meaning and metaphorical representation of sources. With his latest series called FOUNTAIN, Konopek presents himself to the Zurich audience. The Thalberg Gallery hosts Konopek's latest opus revealed to the public, with intriguing drawing techniques that exude one hand, peace and rapturous interest, and on the other, an inner energy that encourages thinking and spiritual contemplation.''  Saša Janjić
