Description of the Artwork “Sweet-talk Traveller in Time”
WARNING: THIS IS NOT AN ARTWORK This object was found in the Sahara Desert during Patrik Šíma's spiritual journey to Timbuktu, Mali. It is on of those mysterious objects that definitely deserve to be mentioned. But let Šíma speak about what really happened that night when the object was discovered. "You know, I understand that a spiritual journey is a journey you would take to find out who you are, what your problems are in life, and how to come to peace with the world. The purpose of my spiritual journey was to find the answer if I had already reached my own bottom. I went to the desert on my own that night. Determined, bold, fearless. I prayed for hours, talked to myself, contemplated - deep blue sky above, cold yellow grains of sand all around. Then, all of sudden, I heard a voice, a silent one but still persuasive and solid. I looked right it was there..." I'm short of cash right now, so I desperately need to sell above mentioned one. Installation: EDITION: MYSTERIOUS OBJECTS
Patrik Šíma, Czechia
Patrik Šíma, born in 1977, is a contemporary figurative self-taught artist currently living in Prague, Czech Republic. Šíma is evolving so called New figuration which he pushes to the 21st century's new media borders. He focuses on figure in its loneliness as well as flawlessness. By a strong expressive manifestation and large formats he enables man to excel as an unique entity. His figures are always searching the way out and have their meaning contained only in their own existence. Great formats of paintings are significantly completed by collages in smaller sizes, created in an intensive contrast of everydayness sights. One of Šíma's great strenghts is color. He deserves a lot of attention for his manipulation of color. Color holds his artworks together and helps express his inner feelings at the same time. Furthermore, dramatic brush strokes help him express emotion and add a feeling of movement to his works. Although the figure has often been central in Šíma's painting, his approach to it suggests a deep unease about the possibility of celebrating women's beauty. Somewhere along the line, he picked up the colossal force of expression that is rigid and strict. Šíma's forceful handling of the medium emphasizes individual brushstrokes, brushstrokes which create a vibrant environment of superimposed layers.
