DeutschPliontanism
Pliontanism (from the Western Ukrainian dialectism пльонтати - to weave, intertwine[1][2][3][4]) is a painting technique in which thin intertwined lines merge into an image, have a dense texture and consist of web-like layers of paint.[5]
Information
[edit]The author's technique "Pliontanism" was invented by the Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk. This technique was first used in a landscape painting in 1972.[3][6][7]
Its uniqueness lies in the application of paint (mainly tempera and acrylic) with thin colored lines that intertwine at different angles, which achieves the effect of volume and glow, spiritualization of images.[8] Given the complexity of masterful execution and laboriousness, it is actually not reproducible.[9][10]
Later, Pliontanism acquired the meaning of the author's creative method — an original system of world perception, as well as its transmission on canvas, which is characterized by asymmetry of rhythmic reductions in color and strokes, metaphorical and symbolism, deformation of images, which achieves the effect of the culminating tension of static images; concentration around the themes of existence, human existence, his place in the world and problems of self-knowledge.[6]
