ABSTRAKTNA POKRAJINA IZ ZRAKA
Avtor dela Tanka rdeča črta je Tomaž Hartman, inženir gozdarstva. Umetniško delo je naredil leta 2013, in sicer je to mozaik, narejen večinoma iz lesa, ki ga je več, in kamna, ki ga je manj. Umetnina meri 139 cm v višino in 264 cm v dolžino, sestavljajo jo trije deli. Nahaja se v Likovnem salonu Kočevje.
Mozaik, ki ga sestavljajo tri enako velike plošče, povezuje tanka rdeča črta, po kateri delo tudi nosi ime. Sestavljena je predvsem iz naplavin lesa in nekaj kamenčkov. Prostor je prikazan iz ptičje perspektive s točkasto kompozicijo. Fotografija mozaika deluje bolj hladno, v nasprotju pa original deluje zelo toplo in živo. Prevladujejo zemeljske barve: temno rjavi, svetlo rjavi, oker in sivi odtenki, vmes pa izstopa malo modre in rdeče barve.
Mozaik je sestavljen iz starega lesa, predvsem iz pravokotnih koščkov in nekaj kvadratov ter krogov. Prevladujejo trije veliki pravokotniki v sredini, na levi in na desni. Opazi se tudi, da je na vsaki plošči eden od kvadratkov pobarvan modro: na prvi plošči levo zgoraj, na sredinski plošči na sredini in na desni plošči desno zgoraj. Na vseh treh ploščah je rdeča črta, ki je najbolj opazna in je narejena iz železa. Črta predstavlja avtorjevo življenjsko pot. Mozaik spada v moderno umetnost, in sicer abstraktno.

Tomaž Hartman, rojen leta 1957, je univ. dipl. inženir gozdarstva. Z mozaiki se je začel ukvarjati leta 2006 kot samouk. Svojo ljubezen do narave, potovanj in literature je začel združevati v mozaike in skulpture. Njegova dela so bila razstavljena na veliko razstavah: 2012 Les, kamni, mozaiki v Kočevju, 2016 Apsyrtides v Zagrebu, 2018 Apsyrtides v Kozjanskem parku, 2020 Apsyrtides v Likovnem salonu Kočevje. Iz tega je razvidno, da je avtor prepoznaven v širšem slovenskem prostoru. A ni edini, ki se ukvarja z lesenimi izdelki, kajti v Ljubljani Tomaž Zarifa, kipar mlajše generacije, tudi razstavlja lesene skulpture z imenom To niso sanje. Menim, da je prav, da je tudi nekaj umetnikov, ki izdelujejo svoje umetnine iz naravnih bogastev.
Meni se zdi umetnina zelo zanimiva, kajti sprašujem se, kako je bil mozaik narejen. Ob sliki si predstavljam naravo z lesom, rdeča črta pa v meni vzpodbudi predstavo o tovarnah in gradnji novih stavb, ki uničujejo okolje.

TANKA RDEČA ČRTA
ABSTRACT LANDSCAPE FROM THE AIR
The author of the artwork Tanka rdeča črta (Thin Red Line) is Tomaž Hartman, who is also a forestry engineer. The mosaic was made in 2013, mostly out of wood and a little bit of stone. It measures 139 cm in height and 246 cm in length. It is made up of three parts. Currently, it’s located in the Likovni salon Kočevje art gallery.
This piece of art, consisting of three equally sized plates, is connected by a thin red line, after which the work is also named. It consists mainly of a pile of wood and a few rocks. The space is shown from a bird’s-eye perspective with a dot composition. The photo of the mosaic seems colder, but in contrast, the original seems very warm and lively. It contains earthy colours: dark brown, light brown, ochre and grey shades, and a little bit of blue and red.
The artwork is made using old wood, primarily consisting of rectangular pieces, along with a few squares and circles. Three large rectangles dominate the central portion of the mosaic. It is also noticeable that on each panel, one of the smaller squares is painted over in blue: on the first panel in top left, on the middle panel in the centre, and on the third panel in top right. All three panels feature the red line — the most prominent element — which is made of iron. The line represents the artist’s life journey. The mosaic belongs to modern art, more specifically abstract art.

Tomaž Hartman, born in 1957, is a graduate engineer of forestry. He began working with mosaics in 2006 as a self-taught artist. He started combining his love for nature, travel, and literature in his mosaics and sculptures. His works have been exhibited at numerous exhibitions: Les, kamni, mozaiki (Driftwood, Stones, and Mosaics) in Kočevje in 2012, Apsyrtides – Mosaics and Sculptures in Zagreb in 2016, as well as Apsyrtides in Kozjansko Regional Park in 2018, and Apsyrtides in the Likovni salon Kočevje in 2020. This shows that the artist is well recognized in the broader Slovenian art scene. He is not the only one working with wooden creations, however, as in Ljubljana, Tomaž Zarifa, a younger sculptor, also exhibits wooden sculptures under the name To niso sanje (These Are Not Dreams). I believe it is important to have artists who create their works from natural resources.
I find the artwork very intriguing, as it makes me wonder how the mosaic was made. When I look at the image, I picture nature depicted in wood, while the red line evokes thoughts of factories and the construction of new buildings, which destroy the environment.
