Wild Boar

Realistične podobe živali Simona Lavriča

Wild Boar oziroma divji prašič je oljna slika Simona Lavriča. Velika je 24 cm x 30 cm in spada v likovno področje slikarstvo, tehnika je olje na platnu. Slika je zelo realistična. Nastala je leta 2019, za izdelavo je avtor potreboval tri tedne.

Slika prikazuje divjega prašiča, obdanega z zelenjem. Nad njim se nizajo veje z listjem, ki vsebuje prevladujoče rumene in oranžne barve, kar nakazuje jesensko obdobje. Toni so predvsem hladni, od katerih izstopa listje na vejah s toplimi toni v rumeni barvi. Stoji na zeleni travi, v ozadju pa lahko vidimo obrise dreves. Proti ozadju opazimo manjšanje števila detajlov – vejice, trava in listje v ospredju jih imajo veliko, drevesa pa so v ozadju zamegljena, kar deluje prostorno. Ta slika je nastala s kombiniranjem različnih fotografij. Avtor je motiv izbral predvsem na podlagi barv. Želel je ustvariti sliko, na kateri bi upodobil jesenske barve listja, merjasca pa je vključil, ker se mu je zdela njegova poza precej nenavadna in izstopajoča. V ospredju slike je živalska figura, ki pridobi gledalčevo pozornost, kot dopolnitev temu pa so drobni listi dreves in drugi motivi iz narave. Tema je posvetna. Sliko uvrščamo v fotorealizem, to je upodabljanje, ki čim bolj nazorno posnema, ponazarja resničnost (na sliki je upodobljen en subjekt v svojem naravnem habitatu).

Simon Lavrič je akademski slikar in industrijski oblikovalec. Rojen je bil leta 1986 v Ljubljani, danes pa živi v Podklancu pri Sodražici in predava v likovni šoli LICE. Obiskoval je Srednjo šolo za oblikovanje in fotografijo in se nato vpisal na Akademijo za likovno umetnost, kjer je leta 2012 diplomiral iz slikarstva. Večkrat je sodeloval v skupinskih razstavah, prvič pa je samostojno razstavljal leta 2013 v Galeriji Miklova hiša z razstavo Misliti žival. Leta 2016 je v sklopu kulturnega dogajanja Psoglavski dnevi v Sodražici razstavljal skupaj z Dragom Hrvackim. Več njegovih del se nahaja v zbirki Galerije Miklova hiša in v zasebnih zbirkah. V dopisni korespondenci je poudaril bistvene značilnosti svojega ustvarjanja. Zapisal je: “V dela ne vključujem simbolike ali skritih pomenov. Name vplivajo predvsem prizori iz narave.” Uporablja tehniko olje na platnu, saj mu ta omogoča naslikati to, kar želi. Gre za mladega umetnika, pred njim pa so realistične motive iz narave slikali tudi drugi slovenski avtorji kot npr. Ivana Kobilica, Jurij Šubic, Janez Šubic, Anton Ažbe in drugi. V našem okolju pa sta delovala tudi Franc Berčič in Franc Mesarič.

Menim, da je slika izjemno lepa. Zelo me je pritegnil motiv živali in njena realistična podoba. Všeč so mi barve in toni, uporabljeni na sliki, ter vsi detajli, ki izgledajo zelo premišljeni. V sodobni umetnosti se pojavlja vedno več abstraktnih del, zato še bolj cenim primerke realistične in klasične umetnosti, kot je ta.

Wild Boar

Realistic images of animals by Simon Lavrič

Wild Boar is an oil painting created by Simon Lavrič. Its dimensions are 24cm x 30cm, and it belongs to the art field of painting. The technique used is oil on canvas. The painting is very realistic. It was made in the year 2019 and the artist made it in three weeks.

The painting shows a wild boar surrounded by greenery. Above the boar, some branches with leaves are lined up. These contain dominant yellow and orange colours, which mark the autumn period. The tones are mainly cool; however, the leaves on the branches stand out with their warm bright colours. The animal stands on the green grass, and in the background we can see the outlines of trees. Towards the background we can see the decrease in the number of details — the branches, grass and leaves in the foreground have a lot of them while the trees in the background are blurred. This makes the painting appear spacious. This painting was created by combining together different photos. The author chose the motif predominantly based on colours. He wanted to create a painting on which he would use the autumn colours of leaves. He included the boar because he found his pose rather unusual and eye-catching. In the foreground of the painting, the animal figure gets the viewer’s attention; in addition to this, there are small leaves of trees and other motifs from nature. The subject is secular. The painting is classified as photorealism. It is a rendering that imitates and illustrates reality as vividly as possible — the painting shows one subject in its natural habitat.

Simon Lavrič is an academic painter and industrial designer. He was born in 1986 in Ljubljana. Today he lives in Podklanec near Sodražica and gives lectures in the LICE art school. He attended the High School of Design and Photography in Ljubljana and then enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, where he graduated in painting in 2012. So far, he has participated in group exhibitions several times. He exhibited independently for the first time in 2013 in Galerija Miklova hiša with his exhibition Misliti žival (rough translation: Thinking Animally). In 2016, as a part of a cultural event based on Sodražica’s folklore (Doghead), he exhibited together with Drago Hrvacki. More of his work is kept in the collection of Galerija Miklova hiša as well as in private collections. In our correspondence he emphasized the essential features of his creation. He wrote: “I do not include symbolism or hidden meanings in my works. I am mainly influenced by scenes from nature.” He uses the oil on canvas technique because this allows him to paint exactly what he wants. Before he started creating, the realistic motifs from nature were also painted by other Slovenian authors, such as Ivana Kobilica, Jurij Šubic, Janez Šubic, Anton Ažbe, Franc Berčič, Franc Mesarič and others.

I think the painting is extremely beautiful. I was very attracted to the animal motif and its realistic image. I like the colours and tones used on the painting, and all the details are implemented in a clever way. With more and more abstract works appearing in contemporary art, I appreciate examples of realistic and classic art such as this one.
