vaclav pisvejc

I have always claimed that inspiration and intuition can never be trained or acquired but are born from within one’s marvellous DNA chain. This can promptly be noticed from how this artist interprets what reaches his attention through his “third eye” that acknowledges only what it likes, processing and eliminating what it considers superfluous to then produce its own artistic creation. Nothing could be simpler but the pathway for true art is achieved with the ability to epitomize and express emotion, together with balance and sobriety, virtuosity and geniality and last but not least love. Without these ingredients what has been produced cannot be described as “masterpiece” or “genius”. I must confess that, with great appreciation, I have found in Vaclav Pisvejc the above-mentioned elements that unequivocally characterize the whole of his artistic production.
His fast and dedicated painting technique dictates the captivating and amiable brushstrokes that generate a  modern “vedovismo”  re-elaborated in a post-expressionist key. The portrayed (most are famous artists of the past) are revisited and rectified to a new source of light and colour that enables the painting to be enjoyable and entertaining (his teacher is the famous Emilio Vedova). I define as fabulous the “untitled” works depicting moving naked models, creating a wonderfully propulsive dynamism that raises the visual and emotional standards to the desirable and obtainable harmonic pleasure. The impression is that everything has already been written and taken as granted. Instead, the strength, eccentricity and broad capacities of this artist are appreciated by observing the smoothness of the glaze together with the strength of lines and contrasts that are applied in an increasing evolution of total pleasantness.

I have met several artists from Eastern Europe and I can assert that in many of them the viewer can recognize an artistic approach set according to the Russian school art, of great influence on art throughout the world. In Vaclav this amalgamates towards of a more vibrant, soft and enveloping dynamism with respect to orthodox archetypes, though in a modern way. Vaclav Pisvejc has produced a large amount of art work but I have never noticed recurring chromatics or signs as regards general characteristics, finding each work to be different and emotional in equal measure. From the chosen colours transpires a genuine lively and perky tendency, a colour effect as if the painting is  “backlit”, demonstrating the ability to use the entire palette extensively with a lyric and skillful avail of colours to create desired contrasts, keeping up with the times. There are many lilac transparencies, often blended with pink and green, sometimes the use of heavenly hues typical of the Antilles seas, other times the use of the powerful warm yellow of the south, with priority given to the red colour-range, typical of the vigour and the passion for art that flows through his veins. As Vaclav often says and asserts, it is the pursuit of pure creational craftsmanship (i.e. the ability of recreating the particular traits that identify a models’ character and his somatic features), a challenge where the artist is be the only one accountable for the portrait created, as it once was before the age of photographic or computer technology assistance. This challenge takes into account the awareness of the great selfesteem supported by a stylistic safety together with the demonstrated skills, that undoubtedly generate the final difference in quality. Vaclav Pisvejc has produced many works and demonstrated his abilities all over the world, from his homeland to other far away countries (as in the United States) always being immediately appreciated and being able to sell his works for a living, as a true artist should do by nature. To know that nowadays there are artists capable of attracting attention in a virtuous way (despite the existence of many ephemeral faddish artists and the surrounding excess of superficiality) fully satisfies my dedication to art, alleviates the burden of my sacrifice to art and gratifies what my eyes can seen before they close, because so much genius has been made person through him. I am sure that Vaclav Pisvejc will soon be spoken of as a peer in the hall of fame of the sacred and renowned artists.

Cosi mi ha descritto il Maestro Mario Salvo
Ho sempre sostenuto che l’estro e l’intuito non potranno mai essere allenati, né oltremodo acquisiti, bensì nascono unitamente all’interno della meravigliosa catena del DNA. L’artista lo si vede subito, da come interpreta ciò che appare al suo sguardo attraverso il “terzo” occhio mentale che acquisisce solo ciò che piace, elabora eliminando il superfluo e produce la propria creazione artistica. Nulla di più semplice, ma il percorso per l’ARTE vera è composto da SINTESI ed EMOZIONE, EQUILIBRIO e SOBRIETA’, VIRTUOSISMO e GENIALITA’, oltre l’AMORE ovviamente. Senza alcuno di tali fattori non può parlarsi di “capolavoro” ovvero di “genialità” come espressione. In Vaclav Pisvejc confesso di aver colto con ammirazione gli elementi sopra citati che caratterizzano in modo inequivocabile tutta la sua produzione artistica. La sua mano veloce e baciata detta le pennellate accattivanti e simpatiche, generando una sorta di “vedovismo moderno” rielaborato in chiave post-espressionista. I suoi personaggi (molti sono artisti famosi del passato) vengono rivisitati e “corretti” ad una nuova fonte di luce e colore che rende piacevole e divertente l’assieme ottenuto (suo maestro il celebre Emilio Vedova). Favolose direi le opere “senza titolo” raffiguranti corpi nudi semoventi i quali creano un meraviglioso dinamismo propulsivo che innalza il livello emozionale-visivo, adeguandolo al piacere armonico voluto ed ottenuto. Tutto sembra già scritto e stabilito, invece la forza, l’eccentricità e lo spessore dell’artista, trapelano dalla scioltezza delle velature anteposte alla forza delle linee e dei contrasti applicati in un’evoluzione crescente di gradevolezza totale. Nella mia carriera ho conosciuto diversi artisti dell’Est europeo e vi posso garantire che in molti di loro si riconosce ampiamente una certa impostazione artistica di scuola russa, una fetta influente del panorama artistico mondiale. In Vaclav tale simbiosi si scioglie in favore di un dinamismo più vivace, morbido ed avvolgente rispetto agli archetipi ortodossi seppur in chiave moderna. Nonostante la gran quantità realizzata da Vaclav Pisvejc, non ho notato similarità né ritratto realizzato proprio come avveniva un tempo senza l’ausilio di apparati tecnologici fotografici o informatici. Tale sfida, quantomeno, si avvale della consapevolezza di grande autostima, supportata da una sicurezza stilistica che, unita alla dimostrata bravura, generano indubbiamente la differenza qualitativa  finale. Vaclav Pisvejc ha realizzato moltissime opere e dimostrato le sue capacità in varie parti del mondo, saltando dalla sua terra agli opposti del pianeta (negli Stati Uniti) facendosi subito apprezzare e vendendo opere per mantenersi in vita, proprio come dovrebbe naturalmente comportarsi un vero artista. Sapere che al giorno d’oggi esistono artisti capaci di proporsi all’attenzione in modo altamente virtuoso (nonostante la giostra dell’effimero giri sempre più veloce e le superficialità alberghino a dismisura) appaga in pieno la mia dedizione e contestualmente rende il mio sacrificio artistico più leggero, appagato che i miei occhi riescano a vedere, ancor prima che si chiudano, tanta genialità fatta persona, sicuro che Vaclav Pisvejc farà molto presto parlare di se come spessore artistico negli ambienti sacri e rinomati dell’Arte.
