Description of the Artwork “Voluptuous Towns LYON No 005”
Jan Astner runs a permanent project - he paints an endless series of abstract cityscapes. He systematically records portraits of visited cities. The project has been going on for several years. There are new works every year . VOLUPTUOUS TOWNS - a series of abstract cityscapes is the artist's travel diary. Each picture is a record of the feelings that accompanied the visit, discoveries and experiences. The entire series of abstract cityscapes is painted with a printing method. Jan Astner does not use a brush to create these works. He is creatively looking for new painting tools. These are often items found while traveling. Souvenirs from visited cities. Paintings from the VOLUPTUOUS TOWNS series refer to cubism, macro pointillism, process painting. The works are very rich and multi-layered. The structure of the painting can be studied many times. Each viewer will notice different details, discover something new. This wealth comes from the painting technique

Jan Astner, Poland
Jan Astner studied architecture and fine arts in Poland and the USA. He practices painting, drawing, computer graphics and photography. Recent projects come from the fascination of multi sensual perception. Paintings are elements of performances based on the idea of synesthetic metaphors – abstractly combined sensual experiences create individual feelings for each participant. He exhibited in Poland, France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Spain and Sweden. For 25 years he has been dealing with consultancy in the field of building and managing brand image. Lives and works in Izabelin, Poland and Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Jan Astner realises his works in series that combine reflection on a man in relation to the world around him in the age of posthumanism and transhumanism. Using process painting and his own developed techniques in acrylic technology, he chooses the means of expression to present the issues bothering him.

What tastes can be seen in the picture? What colours of the sounds can be heard? What is the relation between the touch and the colour? Etc.
