ABSTRAKTNA SLIKA MARKA BUTINE
Sliko Morsko dno je naslikal slovenski slikar Marko Butina. Umetnina je nastala leta 1976. Danes je del zbirke Likovnega salona v Kočevju, kjer si jo lahko ogledamo v Knjižnici Kočevje. Tehnika je grafika, olje na platnu. Mere slike so 95 x 96 cm.
Marko Butina je slovenski slikar in restavrator, ki se je rodil leta 1950, umrl je leta 2008 v Makedoniji. Študiral je kiparstvo, kasneje tudi slikarstvo. Podiplomski študij je opravil iz restavratorstva. Umetniško je vplival na mnoge mlade, saj je poučeval na različnih šolah in fakultetah kot profesor likovne kompozicije. Spada med sodobne slikarje, saj združuje modernizem in postmodernizem. Ukvarjal se je tudi z ilustracijami in stripi. Svoja platna je v Likovnem salonu Kočevje razstavljal leta 1974.

Slika Morsko dno je abstraktna, njena kompozicija je navpična. Na sliki so upodobljeni pasovi različnih barv. Vsak pas posebej predstavlja sloj čustev in obdobje v umetnikovem življenju. Prvi trije pasovi (rjavo-rdeče barve) predstavljajo obalo mesta, ki je temačna in hladna. Drugi svetlo modri pas predstavlja gladino morja in vedrost v avtorjevem življenju. Tri temne barve (modra, zelena, črna) predstavljajo globino, do katere seže morsko dno in morebitne prepreke, na katere naleti vsak posameznik. Rumenkasti barvi predstavljata luč na koncu tunela, do katere je potrebno priti z ogromno vloženega truda in volje. Zadnji (modro-zeleni pasovi) predstavljajo svobodo, ki simbolizira človekovo smrt. Ikonografska tema je posvetna. Sporočilo je, da je življenje tako čustveno barvito kot paleta barv.

Po mojem mnenju je umetnina zelo zanimiva in posebna zaradi svoje drugačnosti. Že na prvi pogled v meni prebudi zanimanje, da začnem ob njej razmišljati, saj abstraktne slike omogočajo gledalcu ravno to. Če bi bil na slikarjevem mestu, bi mogoče izbral druge, bolj vedre barve. Zaradi temačnosti barv slike ne bi želel imeti na steni, a mi je kljub temu všeč kot umetnina in jo cenim.

The painting Seabed is abstract and its composition is vertical. The picture shows bands of different colors. Each individual stripe represents a layer of emotion and a period in the artist´s life. The first three bands (brown-red) represent the coast of the city, which is dark and cold. The second light blue band represents the surface of the sea and the serenity in the artist´s life. The three dark colours (blue, green and black) represent the depth to which the seabed reaches and the possible obstacles that each individual encounters. The yellowish colours represent the light at the end of the tunnel, which can be reached with a lot of effort and will. The last blue-green bands represent freedom, symbolising a man´s death. The iconographic theme is secular. The message is that life is as emotionally colourful as the colour palette.
In my opinion, the artwork is very interesting and special because it is different. At first glance, it arouses my interest and makes me think about it, because abstract paintings allow the observer to do just that. If I were in the painter’s shoes, I might have chosen other, more cheerful colours. I wouldn’t want to have the painting on my wall because of the dark colours, but I still like it as a piece of art and appreciate it.
